Theranos and Enron went bust. Government bureaucracies never go bust.

Governments are overthrown and reformed at scale "all the time". Perhaps about as often as often as corporations relative to their number and sizes.

Even without governments being overthrown, government agencies get deeply reorganized fairly often; often for reasons of politics rather than efficiency, but nevertheless.

Yeah, when was the last time the US gov got overthrown. Or Brazil or Germany or France, UK ... "All the time"?
Otherwise good points I think, @scaramanga:
>>> cutting out maintenance tasks and firing the people who do them. Blame accidents ... Who cares? ... You can't prosecute them

We don't share preconceptions (I see multiple problems at multiple levels of public org charts, and in the electorate), but I see and appreciate why you might have that priority.
Defund the organisation to point of total chaos and near-collapse. Blame employees for collapse in work quality.
Here are some more generally true statements:
Increase profits and improve efficiency by cutting out maintenance tasks and firing the people who do them. Blame accidents or outages on employees, customers, bystanders.
People die? Company goes bust? Who cares? Even if there are consequences, the executives/officials to blame have already taken the money and moved on to the next thing. You can't prosecute them or get the money back (unless they were stupendously dumb and got directly involved and stayed on 'til the bitter end and centres of power were so affected that prosecutors can't ignore it: see Theranos, Enron, etc.).
