I propose that there should be a fourth branch of government - a regulating agency known as the goals comity. Their purpose is to meet with, audit and report to congress the status of failing programs and bureaucracies.

Basically, I feel there are far far too many different government agencies on the national level that don't seem to report to any of the major branches of government. They should be given a check and balance, like every other branch, and their over all job is to act as an alert system for congress of failing legislation.

Some people may confuse this with the judicial review, but I feel this is significantly different, as this does not deal directly with civil and criminal laws, but with agencies and government corporations like the IRS and U.S. postal service.

And I dare take this further, they should also review laws that they feel are failing, and with a certain number of votes, it should be suspended and sent back to congress to be reratified - if they feel the need.
