Yawn, the gdp number includes the money made on importing goods and selling them at a substantial mark up. Hence the Wal-Mart model. It has nothing to do with what we manufacture anymore. C'mon, you are smarter than that young man.

One more thing, it also includes medical services rendered. All those Medicare Medicaid numbers are also put into the mix. Where do those dollars come from? You got, good Ole Uncle Sam's basement printing press.
The fallacy of the service economy is crumbling quickly, same as the fallacy that illegal immigration is good for us. More neo-con dribble proving to be just that, dribble!
