Amen! In the history of the world, when has anything ever become more
efficient, better service, and less money by having the gov't provide
it????

Um, the autobahn and superhighways? They would not have existed at all
if not for government. Same for the rule of law, national defense, and
many other services provided by governments. Some governments may do
these things better than others, but all you have to do is look at
countries that have gone through periods without functioning
governments, such as Albania, Somalia, Afghanistan, etc. Without
government and the rule of law, you have the Taliban. You have
warlords. You have slavery and human misery.
