4. Here is how I explain government creating jobs when I'm at a party....

Imagine an open field. Now picture a freeway being build across that field connecting two major cities and put in an exit and entrance ramp. Right away, the land around that exit on the new freeway shoots up in value and is snapped up by investors. Before you know it there are gas stations, hotels, restaurants, convenience stores, then warehouses, factories, tract homes, shopping centers and grocery stores, movie theaters and fun parks,...a whole community grows around that freeway exit.

This is also how you bring prosperity to remote areas too. Picture connecting Chesapeake Bay with Cincinnati right through West Virginia. All of those coal miners building one of the most scenic highways imaginable through the Alleghenies.
