got back up on that? or is it more rhetoric?

You are not in the position to demand back up without having provided backup for your extremely controversial position.  Why controversial?  Because you said without qualification that privatization is always costlier.  That statement necessarily commits you to the position that a fully centralized government-controlled economy is the most efficient form of economy.  Yes it does.  If privatization is always more costly, then it necessarily follows that reverse-privatization - that is, nationalization - is always less costly.  Consequently, the most efficient form of economic arrangement is a fully nationalized economy.

In other words, you have committed yourself to the position that Cuba, the old Soviet Union, and North Korea are substantially better, more efficient economies than is the US or any other predominantly free-market - i.e., private - economy.

That is controversial.  You have two choices, either prove it, or do the intellectually responsible chore of walking yourself back.  And you have the obligation to do that before you have the right to demand any sort of backup from anyone else.

So, put your money where your mouth is and prove your statements; otherwise, please stop with the rhetoric, yours isn't particularly creative.
