Mission creep happens at all levels of government, because every time a large bureaucracy is created, a large internal lobby structure is created within the government. These lobbies are just as bad as corporate lobbies in many cases (DEA, for example), because their mission isn't good governance (which should ideally always be every department's mission) but protecting their budget (which should never be anyone's mission).
