What is the problem here?  I see two separate questions.  From the standpoint of the
working class, the production of surplus value should include all surplus regardless
if it is wasted when not.  From the standpoint of the capitalists, they are
interested in profits, not surplus value.  If the surplus at their disposal is not
used productively, profits will fall, creating problems for the capitalists.
