This is both true and also misleading. The MIC creates jobs because taxpayers invest trillions into the MIC programs. If you did not tax people to build the MIC that money can remain in the private sector and create jobs more efficiently than the government can.
Ps: I worked in the MIC for 11 years
Or, you could invest that in government infrastructure and a social safety net, and create jobs still more efficiently.
I only spent 6 years in the MIC.
