> I don't see either line making a financial return on the investment
Do they get a financial return on the roads they build?Infrastructure (and practically all government services) never make money, that doesn't mean they aren't worthwhile.
If you're putting the country's pension fund into it you need a financial return. Otherwise you're not making an investment, you're just withdrawing money from the pension fund.
