The same old leftist belief that merely paying someone to do something, no matter what that thing is, somehow boosts the economy. What they fail to understand is that the economy only grows when something of economic value is performed in exchange for money. They might as well just pay people to dig holes and then fill them again, for all the good their lead pipe replacement make-work project will do.
The most egregious example of this false belief is the left’s touting of “green jobs.” Just more paying people to do something that didn’t need doing and that delivers no actual value.

The rank and file leftists may believe that.
These political hacks use plans like this to line their pockets, making it even worse than what you describe.
They are a parasitic group of beings that are ramping up the grift to set up the “Great Reset” so they can “Build Back Better”, by taking our hard earned money and using it against us to take total control of all aspects of our lives.
