Everything about the current Republican party exists to break government to the point of it ceasing to function. When that happens, they can point at it and say "see? Government doesn't work."

Then they sweep in with a privatized solution to the problem they created, and they get richer.

They know it's essential. They also know you'll pay for it if they can kill the governmental solution.
