Isn't that the whole point of the state from a market economy standpoint? To take care of the things that are unprofitable with compulsion/taxation? You can't bankrupt the government. It's got the power to print money. It can keep going as long as it can do so. It also has the power of legislation. It can regulate prices if it so chooses.
