Way to completely dodge the question. The question was not "Why should we allow the public services to run at a loss in the short term?"

The question is: Why should public services aim to produce profit?

I interpreted your question to be why I thought they should focus on long term profit instead of short term profit. As to your question it is for efficiently allocating resources.
