Its called the Bureaucracy.

Pick up any 1st year college government book. It will describe the 4 main "branches"
Leg, Exe, Jud, and Bureaucracy.

Then factor in that both the Executive and the Legislative already have what you are talking about, and you are in a serious case of redundency.

The GAO was mentioned. It is basically AWSOME.
You could also google "regulatory agency". There are long lists.
FCC, FEC, etc, etc.

In addition, you could easily find all the information you are looking for, in terms of failed gov programs.

Here is a good one I reference frequently.

I feel you didn't read very deeply into what I wrote.

I also stated that another claim made before elections by the reps is fiscal proberty and this does not seem to equate with Dubya's spending money like a drunken sailor, the reference to the fed was with regard to the pressure of the deficit applied by this government on the independent Fed
