I think you failed to understand the sentence. >He made a lot of new jobs As you know government cant create jobs except for government servants such as TSA screening agents. Their salary bill has be then paid for by the hardworking earning Americans. I think that is what that sentence means. The Bloomberg article is talking about jobs that are creating by private industry. Government has no hand in it. If those business run a profit those jobs will be sustained else they will wither away unlike TSA people who will get paid no matter how much the passengers hate them.

  I wouldn't defend the TSA. They have abysmal performance, but they are a small fraction of the country. My point is that most people being employed are not loafers. In addition, taxpayers that fund the federal government are generally the upper half of income earners. The poor really don't pay that much in taxes.

    > upper half of income earners Moot of us are in the upper half of income earners. Those are he people who are working hard and keeping the economy running. But it is false to say these are the only victims. More taxes and more regulations inevitably means slower growth of small business leading to less employment of poor people. Not to mention the inflation that hurts the lower income half significantly more as it is an indirect tax on cash you hold.

  The government created plenty of jobs through NASA, too.

    Not really. NASA employees only 20K or so people most of which are doing some productive work. TSA on other hand employs 55K who do no productive work.

      I'm sure NASA, like the U.S. armed forces, creates enough demand through contractors to stimulate jobs growth in certain industries.

        That is called a broken window fallacy.

        You're calling NASA's scientific and technological research a broken window?
