The public sector is often inefficient and insulated from market forces but that doesn't imply that what they produce doesn't meet the needs or desires of citizens. And I've done a lot of work in the private sector that would never in a million years have an impact on the bottom line.

Inefficiencies are everywhere, denying the simplistic stereotype that that the public sector is unusually inefficient.
