The problem with government is that the bar to fire people is too high for it to work the way you describe.  And it&#x27;s that way for a reason.<p>The system used to be that, when a party won an election, they&#x27;d fire the existing government employees, and replace them with members of their party.  &quot;To the victor go the spoils&quot;, and this was called the &quot;spoils system&quot;.  But that meant that the knowledge of how the day-to-day government functioned got lost after every election, which was non-optimal.  So laws were passed to eliminate that practice, but at the price of making it hard to fire government employees.  (Add in public sector unions, and it gets even harder.)
