There are massive government buildings in downtown Washington, D.C., obvious to anyone who visits there.  Those who attend the annual March for Life walk down streets alongside enormous these enormous structures.  They house many thousands of federal government workers, including employees of the agencies mentioned above.

When a new president is elected, as will occur in less than a month, he can change the leadership of these agencies, but most of the workers remain the same.  Many are, in fact, protected against being replaced by a new president.  The spoils system that existed under President Andrew Jackson was later replaced by a system that protects most government employees from being fired or replaced by a new president.  These "career" employees are what keep the federal government on its path of growth no matter who is elected president.  Even under conservative President Ronald Reagan the federal government continued to grow in size and power, although at a slower rate than under liberal presidents.
