Im necessarily supporting the OP but what he's saying is. "Do the same shite many private sector companies do to encourage better performance........ incentives"
Except the private sector cares about profits. The government is not there to make profits. Its to enforce the law, protect the citizenry and stay the frick out of our way.
They dont need a bonus for doing their job.
In the private sector, you get a bonus for making your company more profitable. The government takes our money to operate.
Terrible analogy.

There's the key difference. In the private sector, revenue is somewhat connected to providing the same service levels and product. It's not in government. It's why you shouldn't incentivize government profit performance.

No. It's not.
The government is staffed by people. People are motivated by money. Offer incentives, and there would absolutely less waste.
As it stands, you have created a system whose goal is to spend every single penny allotted to it.
