The public sector is something of an
insular nation within a nation unto itself. Many public sector employees are
second and third or fourth generation workers seeking the career security,
retirement pay and benefits natural unto a ruling class. Is the public sector
of the state of Alaska

When an ostensibly democratic society based on free enterprise is ruled by careerists of the non free-enterprise sector it is inevitable that large corporations with mirroring bureaucracies will get the preferred treatments. It also seems inevitable that public employees will have extra cash to invest in business and be better positioned for the private sector in some instances receiving government contracts. The right correction might be to cap public employment longevity at less than career terms-such as ten years in order that all citizens and not just a privileged few would have the opportunity to experience government employment.
With a firmly established civil service made of careerists the direction of an economy changes very little. Alaska for instance has little prospect of moving away from reliance on fossil fuels and extraction industries for government funding or reducing its appetite for Federal payments. The late U.S. Senator Ted Stevens as chair of the Senate appropriations committee was possibly the greatest contributor to public spending debt in U.S. history outside Presidents Bush II and Obama I. As the world loses 30,000 species each year to its old style economic consumerism and global warming devours coastal areas of Alaska. As the permafrost melts and the tundra releases trapped greenhouse gases the public has no leadership to change the economy and adapt successfully to reality-the inertial comfort of the public sector on its separate and superior to many lifestyle hasn't an interest in adaptation for the benefit of all the citizens at all.
In third millennium America the public sector generally implements economic management policies that support the public sector first and the people not at all though in the corporatist criteria there are ample broadcast media propaganda missives informing the public how happy and well off they are. Free enterprise in America including the essential element of invention and patents, manufacturing etc has radically shifted with the center moving offshore to China and elsewhere. The public sector is happy with the decline of prosperity for the private sector lower and middle class.
Material invention and production simply isn't in the public sector Universe of experience. It is something that happens in China via large global corporations the bureaucrat believes if he, she or it thinks at all about anything besides vacation and sick leave hours accumulated. Getting a patent is very expensive and successful patent defense can cost millions and millions. If an AMerican inventor does create something in thought and gets through the exxpensive patenting hoops the odds are that the product would need to be manufactured in China. Instead of American workers producing a green product the Chinese will with the employment and peripheral benefits of manufacturing going to China. The public sector employee simply expects Americans to consume and buy product from the global producers like they do. The problem with that is the private sector has got support from taxes on the profit sector.
When government fails to adapt to the requirements of the people of the United States it requires significant reform. The United States has several problems requiring reform including not only that of the public sector insularity but that of the need ecospheric economic integration as well. It does seem as if the I.Q. of potential Presidential and obviously state political leadership won't be up to the challenges.
