At the expense of = at the cost of?

[Mark Chen]

Hi teachers

Does "at the expense" mean "at the cost" in the following sentence?

Frum said in a CNN.com commentary. "But that bounce will prove limited and short-lived, and it will come at the expense of more trouble not very far down the road."

Thanks in advance

Mark
