Not all government servants are faceless uncaring sociopaths, true.
Your example is a bit flawed, IMO, because areas like the Forestry Service are places where the ones who -do- care about the job and the public will gravitate towards, because they're less interesting to those who are only interested in their own personal gain.
Health care and the like, on the other hand, do not have that draw, and do not have the factors that discourage the asshats.
Which is why I'm not interested in government-controlled health insurance; I want those decisions made by my doctor, not by somebody whose only incentive is to cut costs so that he can have more to spend on flying in hookers and blow to Guatemala like certain other govenment departments have recently done.

Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode.
