That is the point, I think. Inefficient private enterprises go belly up, and therefor stop being inefficient. There is no such corrective mechanism for government organizations.

This may be true for startups after the venture capital runs out, but in a lot of medium to large companies few highly profitable ventures subsidize a lot of inefficient ones.

Occasionally someone may decide to start "trimming the fat": that is not different in public or private enterprises.
