>what you said sounds great, so lets have Central Planning give everyone a job

No, not everyone. But in the public sector, we have $1.6 trillion in infrastructure maintenance that needs to be done, as well as real needs to upgrade mass transportation and the energy grid in this country.

In the private sector, jobs will come from increased consumer demand by those people who get jobs related to the government and actually have money to spend, not to mention the need for larger supplies of things like solar panels, wind turbines, train cars, steel highway and train rails, concrete, asphalt...

And better infrastructure makes it easier and more efficient for private companies to conduct business in this country and will make our companies more competitive.

It's not that complicated.
