Profit? In the public sector? Someone's been watching too many episodes of 'House of Cards'! D is the only sensible option here.

Creating jobs is important, but that's not the primary purpose. The government is there to deliver essential services, plain and simple.

I'm just imagining a public park trying to 'boost national prestige' - that's gotta be the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! D all the way.

I think Kattie's answer is incorrect. Public sector organisations are not primarily focused on boosting national prestige, but rather on serving the needs of the public.

Wow, how can anyone think the purpose is to make a profit? That's just absurd! Public sector is all about serving the people, not lining someone's pockets.
