But the federal civil service is equally large, but they still suck.

Probably the closest thing we have is the unionized VA system. In areas with political influence it works great- such as DC area. Other areas, not so hot. Success is not rewarded and bad health care professionals are almost impossible to fire, even if they are a “007” (license to kill). My wife has been trying to get rid of an incompetent OB/GYN who is so bad they don’t permit her to practice any more. She has spent the last two years sitting at home collecting $300k/year. To do nothing. Many examples. One in Kansas was really bad and they tried to fire him, but couldn’t until he threw gas on a nurse and lit her on fire. Then they fired him.
