Yep, those terrible liberals increasing the size of the government.

A good conservative would never do that. A guy like Bush who believes in the foundations of the republican party would never actually go out and create an entirely new branch of government simply to make people feel like he is doing something worthwhile to keep them safe.

.....oops. I guess he actually did that when he created the Department of Homeland Security. The 2008 budget for the DHS was somewhere around 46 billion dollars and they have around 200K employees.

They pretty much do nothing that couldn't be done by other already existing agencies if those agencies were properly run. When the 9/11 commission issued its findings they found that one of the major causes of 9/11 was the lack of communication between different government agencies that were in charge of security and intelligence. So there was too much bureaucracy clogging up the system. So the obvious way to solve that is to create a new branch of government. Give them position in the presidents cabinet and then tell them to organize all the other government agencies. That makes perfect sense right?

If a group of existing government agencies can't handle the job, one more should make it work perfectly.
