Why I wouldn't make the absolute statement that "government cannot provide any service less expensively than the private sector", I would consider it a close approximation to the truth than "government is generally more efficient" (which I am not attributing to you, there is no need for "I didn't say that".)

The actual inverse of Peters statement would be "government is always less expensive than the private sector". And just as absurd.

Government is quite good at doing certain things very efficiently. The private sector is very good at doing other things very efficiently. It's not helpful to make blanket statements and it's really not worth even discussing.
