If you worry about unemployment rate, create more government jobs. Tune the stats which matter for reelection, solving problems would take longer.

There's a name for that, but I don't remember it. Something along "50 years old manager problem", tied to US car manufacturers.

Trump has at least slowed the growth a little bit, but it's going to spike heavily with Space Force hiring probably
