If people think things are bad for the economy now, imagine how much worse it could be without those jobs and the economic activity that comes with them. I'd rather have someone working for the government, earning money to circulate, than sitting home unemployed.
And I can understand that. Until you look at the Debt Servicing costs the Government is incurring.

Which anyone could have seen coming. If you rack up the Credit Card enough eventually the monthly bill becomes outrageous.
