I don't know if this is a problem in the US, but something else worth mentioning is that for many jobs, public sectors pay much more (higher pay, better pensions, more sick leave, better job security, ...). So it isn't just about firing people for incompetence. [1]
If the govt should be increasing pay to match market rates, then it should also be decreasing pay to match market rates.
