It is a government issue.
If a private business is trying to sell me something I look a the price. If for whatever reason (including inefficiency) the price is too high for what I will be getting I can choose not to buy that something (off the top of my head: General Motors). That private business deals with the consequences of my little cost/benefit analysis compounded over hundreds of millions of consumers.
The people in government, especially those in positions that don't stand for reelection have no such consequences. I, as a consumer (taxpayer), can do whatever cost/benefit analysis I like but it will come down to a single benefit every time, and one that has nothing to do with the actual "benefits" the government offers. Paying my taxes keeps me out of jail. Giving them more money without consequences only encourages the inefficiency.
