Which will translate into fewer services from the government.

And which services need be done by the government?

* Police? - There are many more security guards than cops.
* Firefighters? - 85% of the nation's firefighters are volunteers.
* Military? - Many wars have been fought by mercenaries.

I could go on, but there are two points:

1. Many "services" provided by the government could be more readily provided
by community effort.
2. Inasmuch as no government programs actually expire, the logical
conclusion is that government will eventually do everything.
