So, in competition with for-profit services, a spokesman for the industry admits that government is more efficient and would win a fair fight. Therefore, we must let "the market ... decide", by removing the government from the equation by fiat.
The fly in the ointment is this: the government is now controlled by the very forces that want to end government, period, and exchange it for total control by themselves, the elite wealthy corporatistas. As I see it, "the market" is a euphemism for "corporate control". The American electoral process must be seen these days as part of the corporate control feedback loop, a kind of quality control litmus test for the cultural, capital controllers. In many of the bureaucracies -- the US Forest Service comes to mind, especially -- the controlling corporate elites are the de facto administrators.
