Yup - A perfect example is the Dept of Homeland Security. DHS was created by GWBush and is the 3rd largest Cabinet dept after Defense and Veterans Affairs adding +200,000 people to the gov't payroll, NOT including the cost of new construction/maintenance of DHS buildings that sprang up throughout the nation, especially in Northern VA. GWB's new Cabinet dept benefits the Commonwealth of VA's economy - not so much for the fed gov't economy!
