"The entire machine of government" is not a homogeneous mass. The USFS, if properly funded, is perfectly capable (as history has shown) of maintaining our national parks. If the idiots in DC don't continue to fund them properly (as they haven't been), and that causes problems, it doesn't mean the USFS is a failure and can't maintain our parks, and the only solution -- because "the government" failed at it -- is to privatize it. That is, you can't say that "the entire machine of government" failed to self-manage the parks, but then say "the entire machine of government" was successful in privatizing the parks. (Especially considering the latter would end up in a disgusting capitalist failure anyway, but one that fiscal conservatives would cheer, because even though the parks would be an objectively worse experience for everyone, at least someone is making big money managing them.)
