Yes, it's hard. No, it's not impossible to fire a Fed employee.

It's just as high of a percentage in the corporate world. In fact, it
might even be worse there. Laziness typically lowers morale and
productivity, but that's not unique to Fed workers. Large companies
have the same problem.

It is very easy to get rid of poor performers in private industry. In
fact most were eliminated along with more than a few good performers
in the 90s, never to return.

Sometimes, but not always. I know, even though the economy is
improving and job growth has been pretty good, the sky is falling and
the end is near.

Are you really trying to say private industry will not fire a person
who is not making them money? (particularly in right to work states)

I worked in a division of a company that was making a profit. We were
still shutdown due to the fact that the company figured it could make
more profit with the money they spent on us in another part of the
business.

Not all profit is equal.
