About the only "job creation" in the U.S. of A. today is paid for by taxpayer money. Such things as "privatized" prisons.

That's just silly.

X number of prisoners require Y number of guards and other employees. Probably about the same whether the prisons are run by corporations or government. If anything, one would expect the corporation to operate more efficiently with fewer employees and therefore fewer jobs.

This is true but our government is busy inventing new "crimes" which will necessitate more prisons thereby "creating new jobs". In the future we are all "criminals" but some of us are lucky enough not to have been caught yet.
