How inefficient is this system? Ten percent? Thirty percent?
Pause on the math here. Over 20 million people work for federal, state, and local government – or one in seven workers in America. Their salaries and benefits total over $1.5 trillion of taxpayer funds each year (about 10 percent of GDP). They spend, at all levels of government, almost $2 trillion in various contracts and programs (not including entitlements).
If government could be run more efficiently by 30 percent, the result would be an annual savings of $1 trillion.
But managing public employees is basically against the law.
