Government employment is not necessarily beneficial. It's not governed by economics.

You can have completely useless roles exist for hundreds of years.

Skilled or unskilled labor is better in the private sector for everyone's sake.

Say, Kentucky gets 1200 high paying jobs they never had due to their Senator's power (I'll veto the bill unless you build a factory there too...) . How is this bad for the state of KY?

Except economics as you are taught it is bullshit, the rich have always taken state subsidies regardless of "economics".
