No, you are actually proposing giving them money,...
We already give them money. I'm simply accepting that this is unlikely to change.
Forced, economically inefficient (hence, why there is no demand in the private market including that fulfilling government contracts)
The labor is not forced you are free to turn it down. We have no way of knowing whether the labor is economically inefficient, due to existing market distortions caused by paying people not to work.
In any case, unless you are claiming that there is no valuable government work to be done at all (are you?), it's a little silly to suggest that my plan to redirect idle labor into providing those government services is inefficient. The labor is either wasted or it's consumed.
