Gov’t can’t “create” jobs. Defies laws of economics.

Socialist believe there is a finte economy. If my income goes from $50,000 to $100,000. That means someone or a group of people are no makeing $50,000 less. Of course they ignore the fact that I created $50,000 a new economic acitivity.

But, you can apply socialist dogma to gov’t. If the gov’t spends, say $1,000,000,000. that comes from taking away $1,000,000,000 from someone else, since the gov’t cannot create new ecnomic activity (outside of providing basic support for highways, national defense, reasonable food inspections, etc).

Government can and does create jobs, bureaucrats.
