Has there been any major federal department or agency that hasn't gotten worse?

This latest news of agents in the FAA being told to shut up about unsafe airplanes by their superiors got me to thinking. Has there been any major federal department or agency that hasn't gotten worse since this criminal organization took over? From the EPA under Whitman, to the Department of Labor under Elaine Chao, to Defense Department under Rumsfeld, to the Justice Department under Gonzales, to heck-uva job Brownie's FEMA, and on and on and on.

I can't think of one department that's been spared. Have there been any that you can think of?

1. ah, the joys of the results of the push for "smaller (yet larger and more expensive) government"

If it weren't so scary and damaging, it would almost be funny.

2. Look for Agencies or Departments they are trying to shut down, they will be the cleanest.

It is the Republican way, if they can not subvert it they will try to shut it down. Social Security Administration seems to be a case in point. I don't think they've turned it to shit yet.
