None of those are done well now because of the political strategy to starve government so it cannot do precisely these things well. But not doing them well is not an argument that the doing is not moral.

My argument has nothing to do with the idea that providing these services is immoral. My analogy pointed that out, in that hypothetical situation there would be nothing wrong with me feeding the starving person.
