Government Jobs

A reader called today with an interesting thought spurred by Richard Burr’s ad.
She took issue with his suggestion that all jobs come from the private sector. She pointed out that government contracts with Blackwater, Halliburton, KBR and a raft of defense contractors sure created a bunch of jobs.
She has a point. When private companies aren’t hiring, a government job – or a job created by a government contract – can pay the rent.
