if you want some homework read up on the crash of 1920 and then compare it to that of "great depression" i have gone into both and many other including world wide examples dating back to the 100 year war all the way to today here. its all been ignored and frankly i dont have the time or energy to do it any more.[QUOTE="surrealnumber5"][QUOTE="chessmaster1989"]
That is not true. If government funding creates a job during a recession and the additional employment (in addition to other fiscal and monetary policy) helps to bring the economy out of the recession, the job will be kept. It is in this manner that the government creates real jobs. All you've done is define real jobs in a way that conveniently works with your philosophy of economics. This general strategy, which I see reflected in most Austrian school thought, is part of why I cannot take it seriously as a viable school of economic thought (in addition, of course, to a lack of mathematical rigour and a lack of historical evidence supporting it (and, indeed, historical evidence if anything suggests otherwise)).
