It's important to remember, it's easy to create jobs. Let's dig an enormous trench from Omaha, Nebraska to the Duluth, Minnesota using spoons. It'll take thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people; many of them will be women. So we'll have this gender equality that we're worried...
When we start worrying about these kinds of things, the creation of jobs per se, we give - we have costs that are often hidden and hard to notice. When you talk about digging a trench with spoons, it's obvious. As we talk about these other things, buying American, doing things in expensive ways - we're going to impoverish ourselves, not make ourselves better off.
