West Coast Ports Building — Overcapacity?

Wouldn't it be nice to have a clear and definitive National Policy on ports - similar to China and how they have built several of the top 10 ports in the world without much ado. But there is no National policy, our ports compete with each other for the same cargoes, same $$ from the government and base their plans based on - their plans. Wouldn't it make sens to create a plan for the most efficient and effective use of our ports? Yeah, but why do that when we can just stumble your way through inefficiency?
