Its a local mythological belief that if you remove universal services which basically everyone requires from our universal tax collection system and insert vast teams of middlemen competing with each other to build a dilbertian confuseopoly, that those highly paid middlemen none the less somehow magically reduce aggregate net total cost to the society. Which would be hilarious as a parody if it wasn't being presented as factual policy.
