Why do people like Joe assume labor is so worthless that hundreds of thousands of workers would be sitting around doing nothing unless government funds some project that then employs them? Unless labor has zero market value, doesn't an unemployment problem indicate something has interfered with the employment market? Aren't people like Joe essentially saying that large swaths of the American workforce are unemployable without government assistance?

That's what I was wondering when he kept taking about how many jobs govt could create... And who pays for those salaries, where does the money come from?!
Classic dems, hands in other people's pockets.
Turns out Biden is an even worse socialist than Crazy Bernie.
At least Crazy Bernie (for all of his problems and wacko communist mindset) would clamp down on illegal immigration because his socialist vision couldn't afford the lavish social programs for everyone who wants to come in. He also campaigned on a "Communist Worker's Party" platform that includes extreme labor-protectionism for the American worker. That means tariffs and anti-outsourcing rules.
Any Democrap is bad news, but it looks like Biden would be even worse for the American worker than Commie Bernie.
Bernie voters should vote Trump for the tough border and labor protectionism.
Joe is a corporate globalist shill who takes labor for granted because he can always outsource it to the lowest bidder. Globalist outsourcers especially have extreme contempt for American workers, who "demand too much in wages and benefits" - ostensibly because we expect a Western lifestyle, not some third-world poverty crap.
That's because their Green Deal will put MILLIONS out of work.
That would be the interference in the labor market you pondered.
