Only a part of government effort is done by civil servants. Most is done by contractors such as Boeing. No doubt that the government pays for it, but we the people benefit from the spending by the jobs it creates and the profits the corporations pass on to their shareholders.
And, even the work done by civil servants helps us as a whole. Those people are employed. They spend the money they earn. That creates more jobs that are purely private.
You were talking like it was money down the drain. It isn't.
