Your argument is that if you want to run the gov't properly then you should pay salaries to gov't workers like they do in Singapore.

I spoke about leadership positions.
The president of Singapore gets five times the salary that the US president gets.
You could pay every top 1000 leader in the federal government a million more in salary each year and the added billion wouldn't be that big when you look at the size of the US budget. The problem rather lies in the public reaction to paying politicians money.
As a result most innovative people or who are good at management don't take government jobs. That results in crappy public institutions.
