Economist Milton Friedman told a story about visiting a jobs program in a foreign country.

He watched a group of workers hand-digging a trench with shovels. He asked the manager why they were not using power tools. The manager told him “Jobs!”

Dr. Friedman asked, “Then why don’t they just use teaspoons?”
