The government can't put people to work.

Besides all the federal employees, the government lets out a lot of contracts to private industry. Maybe a plus side to that is contracts can be terminated easier, faster, and cheaper than firing government workers. The people employed by government contractore are........working; they are......employed.

"Maybe a plus side to that is contracts can be terminated easier, faster, and cheaper than firing government workers."

It makes sense to me, as long as it is something we must have.
