Exactly correct. And if you limit the federal government to doing what it does best, paying for things, not managing them, leaving the decision of what constitutes a “job” according to local needs to local and state management, the people can hold their heads up knowing they are contributing to the quality of life in their communities.

Assuming only business can create productive jobs has wasted an immense amount of potential labor that could have been utilized in a variety of ways without competing with the private sector.
