On Government Spending Creating Jobs

Dave Barry’s take:

Of all the wonderful things government says, that’s always been just about my favorite. As opposed to if you get to keep the money. Because what you’ll do is go out and bury it in your yard, anything to prevent that money from creating jobs. They never stop saying it. They say it with a straight face and we in the press will write that down. We will say, “This is expected to create x number of jobs.” On the other hand, we never say that the money we removed from another part of the economy will kill some jobs.

How many net jobs do you think will be created by Medicaid spending, the Spaceport, the train to nowhere? Inquiring minds want to know.
