Good idea? Bad idea?
It seems like private sector companies aren't creating jobs because people aren't buying anything. People aren't buying anything because there's no jobs. This could be an endless cycle. But, what if the public sector creates temporary jobs like building high speed rail in FL (for example). That puts money in the hands of normal working people. They go out and buy things at privately owned businesses. Businesses see people are buying more, so they create permanent private sector jobs. When that happens, phase out the public sector jobs. Cons: Temporary gov't spending. Pros: Create jobs, get high speed rail.
Just an idea.
