I have seen numbers over the past 30 years indicating that in the health and human services budget 25% to 35% (this is the variation that has occurred over that time frame) gets out to those in need. The rest is consumed by the Washington bureaucracy. You could help those in need easily and save money by just block granting 50% of the budget directly to the states and closing the department and saving the rest. It is possible that those in need could have doubled resources as a result. This is not news to politicians in Washington. They just loose power and votes if we were to do that.
