Government doesn't create jobs (except for it's own growth),but it can sure impede or squash them.
You're right, government doesn't create that many jobs. There are a few examples such as airlines, military spending, and NASA, but for the most part they don't create jobs.

Government spending money on things isn't always a bad thing. That doesn't mean its always right either.
The only real job Dubya the Mad created is the job of cleaning up his mess.
