So care to explain that a bit better? I think you just contradicted yourself.

The government has no business anywhere near the job market. Go read about the subsidized corn market if you want to see their brand of job creation in action. For too long we've expected the government to take care of the needs of society when we should have been doing it as citizens.

Or drive through the Lincoln Tunnel or use electricity from the Hoover Dam.

Or fly from LaGuardia to LAX.

Maybe corporate welfare should be cut to the bone first.

If government bears direct financial burden (paying for the fact they cannot be employed) of failing to provide useful employment, then the feedback mechanism is in place for it to be incentivized to create jobs.
