“Cutting government creates jobs.” A lie repeated often enough becomes the truth. Cutting government does not create jobs.
I certainly believe that government needs cutting in many places, but not because it creates jobs. We need to do so that we don’t waste money and drive ourselves into long-term, irreparable debt. But doing so has nothing to do with creating jobs. That’s just ridiculous. Many of these attempts are really about destroying government and the good that it does. There are people whose ideology requires this, no matter the consequences. It’s an article of faith, not a way to live.
