I’m tired of reading the conservative pitch (such as the Barry Stephens letter to The Forecaster) that government doesn’t create jobs. The military, post office, public schools, public works, fire departments, police departments, etc., are all government jobs, as far as I know.

But with the conservative pitch, none of them are jobs. I wonder if the people working in those jobs feel that way.
