England is not doing so well and neither are we for the middle class. That’s why the Brits voted to leave and hopefully we will elect Trump. I’m only talking about the size of their economy as calculated with the formula currently used. I’m not arguing with you on anything else.
But the English GDP like the American GDP is an illusion. Take out all the borrowing and spending of gov’t and the rest would collapse. That is not a real GDP and delaying the truth.
