Governments create no lasting jobs. They take money from the private sector and redistribute. Governments also have a perverse incentive to spend, in order to get the budget next year. Broken Windows Fallacy says that government confiscation of wealth actually inhibits and prevents true growth. It is only the free market that creates jobs. This is economics 101.
