Note my statement wasn't absolute, the government can be more efficient at delivering services and goods to consumers. It isn't always worse and in some cases can be better. This concept that the privatization will always lead to more efficient delivery is false. And the concept that people will always spend their money better than the government is also false. The absolutism of your position is what I take issue with.

Canada has some of the highest phone rates in the world. This is not because of free market, it is because our government has allowed a small number of companies to control the market and basically price fix. The government should do a better job in regulating monopolistic industries rather than running them.
Government should work for its people, not the other way around.
