It can be solved. Gov tech people could be excluded from the laws dictating gov salaries. They must have concurrent salary. Given that, most would stay in gov I think - the domain is fantastic for serious engineers - entire country of clients, usually all domestic companies or people must be involved, most services should work 24/7, have zero downtime etc. Its as hard as it can get without being at Google and Facebook IMO. There are other ideas to solve this problem too, but let me not digress here.
