NO.

And there's a reason for that.

Gov't work attracts a certain type of individual. The type of individuals who become basketball referees instead of basketball players. The type of people who learn every inch of the rulebook backwards and forwards but never learn why those rules were written in the first place.

Gov't creates bureaucrats. And bureaucrats are good for nothing other than saving their own skin. They don't take risks and they don't think with any semblance of creativity or ingenuity. Just do what their superiors tell them. And all bureaucratic superiors want is a bigger budget to control so their annual salary increases. And the easiest way for them to do that is not to figure out how to get more people through the DMV line faster. It's not to make sure your mail gets delivered more reliably. It's to fund some special interest group to lobby on their behalf and how their gov't program is a necessity.

In short, gov't is less efficient than the private sector because in gov't, one's output don't matter as long as you follow the rule book. In gov't work, you are successful as long as your budget isn't taken away. It doesn't matter how much money you waste, as long as you can convince the taxpayer it's waste worth funding.

Needless to say, things don't work this way in the open market place. As Dr. Raymond Stanz once put it, "You've never worked in the private sector, they expect results!"
