What kind of jobs do you have in mind?

I have taken to saying "Everybody should have the right to a job as 'Verwaltungsfachangestellter'" (something like an office clerk). But I tend to say that in jest...



Any low skill government job. Cleaning the BART/NYC subway/etc, simple construction work, etc.

This isn't actually that wild an idea - this is what FDR did with the NRA during the great depression.


Not sure if assignment will be that easy - might create a lot of jobs in administration?

Another thing I have realized: proponents of government spending are always right. Of course there is an optimal way to spend money, and in theory government could just decree that money should be spent in that way and things would run in an optimal fashion. The problem is that advocates of government spending tend to skimp over the aspect on how to actually determine optimal spending.
