- rhizome 10y agoI'm as cynical as anybody, but by the same token you're making an assumption that the goal was to throw money at it. I chose to take a good-faith interpretation, though I realize the program's results may be lacking regardless. I think overall my point is to ask whether it makes a difference what their intent was. Do the results indicate that we actually do know how to create jobs? I mean, there's the WPA and that kind of thing, but beyond that, has any politician really ever created jobs in the way that you say we already know how to do? Not trying to be antagonistic, just curious about the details.
