It take vast numbers of people just to fill the leadership positions in all the agencies and every leader wants as many people under him as possible. Occasionally somebody tries to eliminate some agencies, but every agency has workers who want to keep their jobs and almost every agency provides some service that is enjoyed by those who get it. People concerned with other agencies empathize and add their support to the threatened departments. These people all combine to make such a protest that nothing happens. Meanwhile politicians think of new services that might attract votes, so the government grows bigger still.
