I think both of you want the same thing : a more EFFICIENT government. The size doesn't matter - it is the dedication of the people they employ does.
The lack of creativity, drive and adherence to bureaucracy for fear that their iron rice bowl be broken probably made government employees more passive than they actually are. Either that or incompetent superiors who deserve to be put through commando POW training everytime bureaucracy is used as an excuse for inaction.
