There are others, but I believe those sufficient to make my point, which is: What are those things if not government assistance?

That doesn't sound much like privilege to me. Pretty much everyone in the US has access to all of these, which fall within the basic responsibility of the government, basic education, public safety and national defense. Roads and such should be covered by use fees. If some service is not sustainable, it goes away.
