>This is the way government "creates jobs." It doesn't matter what is being produced, as long as jobs are "created." It is one way the government creates jobs. It also hires teachers, builds roads, (ostensibly) inspects factories and others work facilities, maintains armies, etc. >It should be obvious that this is unsustainable, yet this is the same sort of "logic" that pseudo-Keynesians are using to defend "stimulus" spending. You're not going to hear me defend buying tanks we don't need. >The only "good stimulus spending" is the kind that gets local politicians re-elected.
