All Government spending is one giant jobs program.

The problem with it is. You don't have a lot of products to sell and even fewer people to sell to. Also, some of the buyers have a habit of ending up on the other side of the fence.

One of the reasons Japan and Germany got to be big sellers to the World was they spent time and money on developing goods that could be sold.

Still nice to see you agree with me about Government Spending = Jobs.
