I'm going to try to make this analogy work, it all made sense as I thought about it mere moments ago. It seems, to suggest you are saving jobs at a time when unemployment has risen significantly above what you thought it would, is just a matter of semantics. I could argue that driving over the speed limit would save lives, and then demonstrate it by explaining that if you had driven 80 mph when you left grandma's house yesterday you would have been 300 yards past where the semi-truck crossed the median and caused the head-on collision. You can demonstrate that not wearing seat belts could save lives too, but you have to ignore the larger picture that, overall, seat belts, and more reasonable speeds actually result in a safer driving experience for all. Maybe this idea will work too. The government is spending money to save money. A little like buying 2 cars whose price has been discounted $2.000.00 in order to save $4.000.00 instead of just the two. The deficits we are incurring are going to negatively impact our economy for a much longer period of time then the initial trauma of dealing with the original crisis without all the spending would have.
I hope this clears up a few things for you.
You're very welcome, and I hope you have a good day, too.
