For better or worse also the fact that in the US it's possible to fire people without any issue (IMHO). Being able to prune underperforming people should mean that those money are better used.
Here in EU I saw many people that basically just clock in/out everyday and then mind their own business because they are un-fireable due to labor laws/unions. A colleague was calling these people "institutionally pre-retired", which I believe it's a great description of the phenomenon. To some extent that happens in the US also in the Public Sector, but I believe it's rarer.
