What I probably should of stated is that I am refering to a market / capitalist economy. Yes, if the government spends money on roads and what not, they will create jobs, in the public sector. This doesn't affect the private sector as much.

So yes, in certain areas, government spending money has a direct effect on the economy. Same with government taking away money has a direct effect on the economy. So in that aspect, I stand corrected.

But one cannot survive on public enterprises alone.
