Creating jobs

Many people, including some who should know better, keep saying that "Government does not create jobs. Think about it. Look at the government bureacracies that have expanded so largely in the last few decades, on so many levels--federal, state, county, city, township. Look at the staffs of the senators, congressmen, governors. Even look at the military. Government has created many many jobs. How many of them should have been created is another matter.

In my opinion, expanding the military is one of those instances of job creation that is not only desirable, but necessary, as are the expansions of law enforcement and homeland security. These things must be considered one at a time.
