I have several objections to your argument, many of which others have covered, including the actual lack of user fees. But even at the most basic level your argument doesn't make any sense. Technology enables more efficient service delivery, which means we can do more with the same budget. Budgets are constrained by politics, which as you say is probably morally wrong and an inadequate response. Yet we can change the technology more easily than the politics. Or, at least the people who choose to contribute with technology can do so more easily than they can completely transform the US political discourse. Plus, even if the politics change, more efficient services will continue to benefit society by reducing the total costs. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
