I see your point here and in the short term I would agree that this would be a good thing. History proves to us all that gov't never shrinks. Once the terrorist threat is eliminated, the people working in these depts wont just go home and leave us alone. They will increase their budgets every year as well as take on more people. Once the oringinal reason for the creation of a dept has been dealt with, they find another "evil" for them to chase after. Eventually there will only be 6 adult people in the US that dont work for the government in one way or another.

I think you are patriotic and well meaning but we will never really agree on this issue. You've made your points though and I respect them.
