You have got to be kidding me. Yeah, there have been some notable problems of late, but life without those organizations would be far worse.

Social Security has come under fire for insolvency, but it has enough funds to pay full benefits through 2037, and after that something like 75% in virtual perpetuity. Only very minor changes need to be made to solve this problem.

Medicare is under a very real financial crisis, but it's because of the skyrocketing cost of medical care, which is growing far faster than inflation. Notably, the cost of Medicare is growing at a slower rate than healthcare in general, though still faster than inflation. A large portion of the healthcare reform is to bring those costs under control, and much of that has to do not with regulation, but with streamlining.

FEMA has been through some hard times, but that's what you get when you nepotistically hire a horse registrar to run an emergency management organization. But you don't decide to get rid of the fire department because it's not doing well enough.

And the postal service has hit on some hard times, too. They should have kept up with technology more than they did in order to remain competitive in package shipment in light of the reduction in first-class mail due to the internet. Still, you can send a letter across the country for 44¢ and have it get there in a couple of days. Fedex and UPS would charge you $15.

Anyway, if you don't want the government providing services for you, you can also fight your own fires, stop driving on our roads, deal with burglars and the other vigilantes yourself, and when China invades, you're on your own.
