Mark you do realize that by using that logic NOTHING would ever get built. Everything that is constructed is built by companies that DO construction.
When you have construction crews building a highway, for instance, it gives work to the company that contacted the job.
Sometimes it takes years to complete projects. Money is constantly being pumped into the project. People working on it are making great salaries. And they SPEND that money (just like they always do) which helps the economy.

After the job is done? They move on to the next project.

That's how things work.

Using your logic...nothing would ever be built because it doesn't employ people for LIFE to build that one thing.
Of course that's not reality. I rarely see any hint of reality in these discussions.
