There has been a strong push to shrink government because its seen as inefficient. When in reality It's not that government does too much, the issue is that government is not efficient about how it achieves its goals. I think a better approach would be to have an agency or group with cabinet level status that systematically goes through the federal government agencies and policies to make implementable recommendations of best practices in reducing waste and inefficiency. This would include ensuring employees are sufficiently challenged and making sure agencies achieve their goals in efficient ways. The efficiency team should look to successful businesses for approaches to keep employees energized and agency goals met in the most optimal ways.
