Well of course its a failure. Bureaucracy can't deliver compassion. All it can do it stamp the foot down in one place, and perhaps sometimes the ground pops up in another.
Why do people even think it could work? Government doesn't relieve, it imposes constraint, for those who can't self-govern. Actually fixing problem is best done individually, then via community, then via local government. By the time national government gets involved, you'll usually only get some kind of nightmarish facade. For example, peace and freedom.
In fact, in some ways a failure for bureaucracy is a win for authoritarianism, because every instance of failure being pointed to carries with it the implicit assumption that this is something the government should succeed at.
