No, I didn't. Maintaining infrastructure isn't breaking windows!
Public works is not the equivalent of a glass-maker breaking the baker's window. It's the equivalent of hiring people to maintain the roads that allow the glass maker to get to the baker, but instead of the glass-maker paying for the road the baker and glass-maker distribute the cost through taxation.
It's intellectually dishonest to even compare highway maintenance with breaking windows to create a job for yourself.
