The internet was created by the government, the government sent a man to the moon and most of the bio-tech industry you see now was seeded by the government (through NHS research and equivalent in other countries). I can say the same about pharma, aviation, nano-technology. In times like these this is the role of government. Our crumbling infrastructure needs renewal and we need a huge push towards sustainable energy technology - a move towards solar and the hydrogen economy.
For life without government just look at Somalia. How would you like to live there?

Looks like you are assuming losses will be a lot worse than that.
