Those aren't jobs. They are welfare. It may come in the form of a job, but the economic theory behind it is still similar to welfare. You aren't 'creating' anything you are just taking money from one group and giving it to another. When you stop taking that money the jobs go away.
Real job growth requires you to create wealth. Facebook is creating jobs, Google is creating jobs, Apple is creating jobs. The government is not creating jobs.
You keep repeating this lie when facts are that gov't creates jobs all the time. Huge swaths of the U.S. economy depend on private contractors' providing services and support to U.S. gov't infrastructure; everything from IT to security to actual infrastructure projects. The gov't doesn't build everything on their own without private help. Additionally, the U.S. gov't has done far more important things, like nuture and/or create whole industries with research and development that has pioneered things like the atom bomb, NASA space technology that helped further develop robotics, and of course the Internet. To say the federal gov't doesn't create jobs is to be ignorant of well established historical fact.
