The reason to create this department is not to create the size of government, but to increase its focus and effectiveness. The staff of this new department will be largely drawn from the agencies we are combining. By ending duplication and overlap, we will spend less on overhead, and more on protecting America. This reorganization will give the good people of our government their best opportunity to succeed by organizing our resources in a way that is thorough and unified.

Well, so much for that idiotic "biggest expansion of government since Truman" thread.

Was going to post on the expansion thread that the guy that put it up was wrong but instead I went and got Pres Bush's speech instead to prove him wrong! Figured the facts would stand on their own!
