Teachers, road workers, federal engineers, soldiers, and federal law enforcement aren't exactly bureaucrats. And while there may be a bloating of bureaucracy in government, the private sector has plenty of accountants and middle managers as well.

The difference is that companies with too much bloat die. There is no concept of that at all in the federal government because it just goes into more debt or taxes more instead.

Teachers, road workers, and federal law enforcement do a terrible job, because of the incentives in the government jobs.
The soldiers and the endless wars are the worst examples of what the government can do.
