Panama eager to expand canal

Panama’s government wants to add a third lane to the Panama Canal in response to increases in trade and weight of container vessels. Opponents to the ambitious project worry over the excessive cost as well as environmental damage.

Considering the sickness that caused death at the previous building of the canal is passed, I don't see a terrible issue. The cost will be great, but it is better for transportation, sometimes sacrifices must be made. I'm sure plenty of people would agree that the canal needs to be expanded for the larger ships. As time goes on, we improve things by making them bigger and better. Bigger is the key issue here and may easily be resolved.

I disagree. There's no need to expand and waste all of that money. We are already in debt enough from a certain president *cough cough* we don't need to spend more. Right now, we should focus on the economy and nothing that is so pointless as this.
