private sector is performance based, has consequences for ineptitude, and rewards performance, the public sector [government] has no such culture. The opposite actually. Seniority gets promotions, not performance, inefficiency is not only tolerated but the status quo, government departments budgets are based on previous years spending. If a department spends less than budgeted, their next year budget will be cut to that years spending, as a result, those departments end up gorging themselves at the end of the fiscal year to make up the difference. I have witnessed spending on $1200 chairs, $2000 coffee cups, high dollar recruiting events fully catered at expensive hotels.... you name it, I have seen it.
I can confirm this. My squadrons in the military had to spend the left over money or our budget would be slashed. We bought tools and gear so as not to seem wasteful but we HAD to spend that money.
The military is just as wasteful, if not more wasteful. We pay soldiers to sit on their phones all day long. These people have no produced anything in their entire life and they are paid by the theft of actual hard working Americans. Taxation is Theft

The military is effectively the public sector too bud. Operates on a very similar parallel.
This is exactly true statement,
Yes the military is not 1:1 with other agencies, but it definitely has many of the same problems
