"How many blue-collar people are employed by the private jet makers?"

Not that many. Private jets have a very high profit margin. So the investors are the biggest beneficiaries.

"How many middle-class jobs could have been created by building "bridges to nowhere"?"

A better example. I am not a big fan of bogus infrastructure projects, especially when there are plenty of legitimate ones that don't have funding at the moment.

"If "wasteful spending" is considered a "stimulus," then let the CEOs waste their money on private jets. "

Umm, Tenchu, why not take a course in economics? You seem to be really fuzzy on a number of aspects. You keep getting wrapped up in political economics, not actual economics.
