You seem to imply that the program is distributing resources more equitably or fairly (according to some definition) than their initial distribution. Can you explain that? The money is taken from tax-payers, and most of the jobs created in the US are presumably tax-payers. But we also know that the companies with these defense contracts are making profit, which means it's not purely money being distributed to workers. There are presumably executives and investors making huge amounts of money from tax-payers. If the money is just being taken from tax-payers and then distributed to a much smaller group of tax-payers, including some of it making a very small number of people very rich, I would need to see a lot of evidence to convince me that it's beneficial to society in the way that the term "jobs program" makes it sound.
