then he created the biggest expansion of federal gov in our lifetime

President Bush first created an Office of Homeland Security in the White House
and then, with the Homeland Security Act of 2002, laid plans for a new
executive department. The DHS was funded with billions of dollars and staffed
with 180,000 federal employees when it opened for business on March 1, 2003.
It qualified as the largest reorganization of the federal government since 1947
when, fittingly, the Department of Defense was established.

But here’s the strange thing: unlike the Pentagon, this monstrosity draws no
attention whatsoever -- even though, by our calculations, this country has
spent a jaw-dropping $791 billion on “homeland security” since 9/11. To give
you a sense of just how big that is, Washington spent an inflation-adjusted
$500 billion on the entire New Deal.

is it working?

You believe everything you read don't you? Maybe you should not be repeat anything that you heard or read from the "Ed Show." :biglmao:

Look up the annual cost of the Social Security program, which is only one of the New Deal programs, and then read your own post. Then laugh at yourself for being so gullible as to believe anything that comes from MSNBC.
