There is a higher multiplier effect on investment versus consumption in regards to GDP growth. Right, but GDP growth is not a great indicator of economic health of the people, just the government. When your long-term unemployment rate is 40% higher than it was during the trough of the recession and your median income has been stagnant for decades there's clearly a case to be made that using GDP as an indicator here is misleading at best. --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:876814793] in If someone...
