Not sure I understand this at all.
Congressmen/women have dozens of things on their plates at all times...from budgets to commttees to everything tabled to become law. How is this costing any more money?
There is a real reason they are getting involved though and it has to do with unfair trade practices...something they oversee in every industry. Its part of their collective jobs.
Obama actually made this part of his campaign near the end, so it should surprise no one that it will be looked at. Of course their are more important things going on, but that doesnt mean that everything else is ignored.
