The problem with your approach is that the government is often doing a job that wouldn't be profitable in the private sector--giving away money, protecting things that wouldn't be protected, etc. So it's not market driven. You can't just evaluate it like a salesman--so a cop arrests 10 people/month and he gets a toaster? Wonder why you get a lot of parking tickets? Much of what the government does can't easily be evaluated by teh same standards. How do you know the guy did a good job reviewing the FCC license application?
Sure, there are lots of places to root out corrupion and laziness, but there are in the private sector too. ask fringey's boss.
