Not really. I worked in both private and public sectors in the same field. Private sector wouldn't really be worse, just shift the cost to a different party. I wouldn't say in my field I've had more deadbeats in government than in the private sector. It's about the same. But its a professional field. On the other hand it was at least plausible to fire people in the private sector, albeit not nearly as easy as people would think.
