Why continue to use taxes to subsidize these endeavors?

Because ...... they're more affordable for a proportion of the population? And they're in demand.

I am not advocating cutting all services; only the ones that are losing money and can be better fulfilled by the private sector.

No, I'm not aware of any private ones. That's my point. They're a public service that runs at a loss.
Libraries lose money therefore they should be cut? Or
Or cut them so they can be privatised. There's no reason why they the service couldn't be fulfilled by the private sector.
Would be a great one way of promiting literacy with all the extra costs.
The idea behind rec centres IMO was that they provide a service at an 'affordable' cost for all. To cut them or privatise them = worst idea ever.
