    This began with the idea that someone can just magically "create jobs", which is completely backwards. A need occurs, and then you find people to fill that need.

Ahem.

And of course we've had like three waves of economists saying it was good/bad/good and it's not a solution to the problems we have today, but jobs can be created.

How old is your house? Because if it existed in 1938, city hall has a picture of it. Why?

Because they needed to create some jobs, so they hired photographers to take pictures of every house in Seattle.
