It will not make jobs. People who are already on the payroll will lay that sod.

Thank you. Not only that, ‘creating jobs’ isn’t hiring someone to do a temporary job that will last a few months or a year doesn’t fit the bill.

‘Creating jobs’ is about growth or retention.

Either that or the landscaping the National Mall would be a new fulltime operation, in perpetuity. There are sections of highway in Maryland that have been under construction now, allegedly for longer than I have been alive (and definitely for as long as I can remember have those machines moved around piles of dirt on the side of the road). The Soviet model of showing up at the factory, punching in, and not producing anything then collecting your check from the government.
