Really?
How about infrastructure like paving our roads and building bridges??? This certainly makes a lot of jobs.
No it doesn't. It just diverts money from projects the consumers would have preferred to projects they prefer less. The net result is an overall reduction in consumer satisfaction.
When the government built the interstate high system, it put a perfectly good railroad system out of business, and it spent hundreds of billions doing it. Before the interstate system was built we had a perfectly good system of railroads that the taxpayers didn't have to spend a dime on. So how did we benefit?
