The government creates wealth all the time. Congress folks typically leave office a lot wealthier than when they arrived.
And it creates jobs when it pays these same congress folks to hire their relatives and friends.

“Amerika’s nomenklatura”

For those who remember the old Soviet Union, it was a grim place — at least for average citizens. But not so for those in government. Contrary to the official ideals of equality and a classless society that the ruling communist regime espoused, the USSR created a privileged class of party members inside government — the nomenklatura.
This semipermanent bureaucracy earned higher incomes, got better health care, ate better food and had greater job security than average Russians, the much-despised proletarians. Today, our bloated federal government seems, in significant ways, to be creating this same dynamic.
