I'm at a loss to understand your post. The war on poverty has had some successes and some failures. However, the alternative is? People dying of starvation or a massive increase in the number of homeless on our streets? R&D into nuclear energy should stop? The TVA no longer receives congressional appropriations to help fund its activities in navigation, flood control, environmental research, and land management. Today all of its programs are paid for with power revenues. tva.com HEW waste? There is waste and continous efforts should be made to re-evaluate programs that don't fit or don't work. Me vote Republican? Those incompetent fools? You've GOT to be kidding...

go ahead and keep voting for Republicans, who have been running it for a decade The federal government itself, that is to say, the bureaucracy, is "run" by the executive branch, the office of the President. Congress writes laws but agencies don't implement them until the rules and regulations have been written, which takes a while. And then the courts have input because they can issue injunctions or declare laws invalid. Turning the Ship of State this way or that is sort of like turning an aircraft carrier, only harder. Takes years for changes to show up.
