Now, I'm certain that ya'll can recall any number of statements from Republicans over the past several decades (whether they were in politics or were talk show hosts) to the effect that government does not create jobs.

"Generosity. That was my first mistake."
"Experience must be our only guide; reason may mislead us."
"Instagram is Twitter for people who can't read."
