You don't need to "add in" the massive privatization push, FWIW. All of these others things are a part of it. Step one in privatizing an overwhelmingly popular social service (and something that has been a key part of our national identity for a few generations now) is to... Break it.

Break it to the point where it stops being integral to people's understanding of the way things work.

This has been a long term strategy of starving the beast, and that is what has caused all of the rest.
