Calls Grow for Congress to Investigate War Profiteers

Original: Congress Must Investigate War Profiteers Once Again

A renewed push is under way for Congress to investigate companies profiting from war, echoing earlier eras when lawmakers examined defense contractor price-gouging and wartime windfalls. The argument, advanced in commentary carried by left-leaning outlets and syndicated news sites, is that soaring military spending and fresh conflicts make oversight of defense contractors necessary once again.

Why now: Ongoing conflicts and rising defense budgets have revived debate over defense contractor profits and the need for congressional oversight.
