If it’s high it still does not raise incomes and tax receipts, or living standards. And if they include retail SALES of imports? Its even more stupidity. More sales higher GDP means more trade deficit.
As far as I’m concerned the REAL GDP has been negative since 1975. Negative growth in wages and living standards. Maybe GDP is simply reflecting global business to business profits. They have been avoiding US labor and US taxes since 1975 imo of course.
