Repeating what I said above:
This whole operation is to dismantle government programs so corporations can swoop in and fill the void.

I'm not convinced that step three is going to happen. What if they just leave a void?
This actually is not the worst possibility. Sure, you'll pay more for the stuff that used to be free or cheap (e.g. Interstates, National Parks). This can be eventually reversed or at least regulated.
It's far worse if things are just left to decay and disappear. NIH research is an example. It can just disappear and never recover. And the worst thing, people won't even know about that. We'll just be getting fewer new drugs and treatments.
