Yea, you can create programs that create jobs, by spending taxes. So this should be zero surprise.

The question you should /really/ be asking, since taxes are involved, is, was that hiring actually effective? Did we create jobs that actually provided lasting value to the world? Or did we just juice the numbers for the polls?
