Too much focus on "creating jobs" just like politicians. It's easy to create make-work for everyone. The key is creating value. If the government allocates the resources you end up with starvation, as history shows.
The soccer example is a good example of what is the real problem. Regulation and legislation that stands in the way of private business. Instead of fixing the problems created by government, more government involvement is proposed.
If the soccer games is really something people want, anyone, including Scott Adams, can start it and charge 5 dollars. Why would the government need to be involved? If litigation is a problem, that should be solved instead of giving government sponsored activities preferential treatment to avoid the law.
Adams acknowledges that "government screws up everything it touches." But then later writes "Suppose the initial investor is the government". Why wouldn't the government screw up the investing too?
