As above poster noted, best talent isn't flocking to work for the bureaucratic arms of the govt. In fact I'd venture as far to say that a large portion of the Israeli population has a very negative view of the government itself.

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy we see a lot in the US as well. Underfund the government, they become inefficient, use that inefficiency as the reason for cutting funding yet again because everyone is sick of the inefficiency.

And then there are the stories of the agency director that budgeted $50,000 for his own office renovation. Just his own, not the whole Office.
