Wow, such rationalizing! The gov does NOT create, it TAKES. Sure, the gov is good for some things. I did not say otherwise. But, the gov sucks at business, and no one can dispute that.
Contractors that work for the gov are being paid with taxpayer money. That means, it cost us. Private industry creates REAL jobs that cost us nothing, but really stimulates the economy. The gov cannot stimulate the economy, even with welfare.
Like I said, Billionaires spending money is a good thing. Any wealthy spending money is a good thing. If they purchase a yacht, someone else builds it. Someone provides the materials, etc. If they purchase an expensive car, the same. The gov takes from us and spends OUR money inefficiently.
Printing money does nothing for the country, other than deflates the value of the dollar.
On the other hand, if the gov pays private sector contractors to provide a service, it DOES save us some money. Why? Because they do the job better AND they pay all the benefits to their employees instead the gov being required to pay benefits such as retirement pension and health insurance.
We are now seeing the private industry doing the space program better than our gov and it is not costing the taxpayer.
