For starters, we have 300 million people and they have about 60.
So using your GDP figures, France has 1/4 of the .GDP of the US but only 1/5 of the population. The French are therefore, more productive than Americans.

The GDP only measures the sum total of all goods and services produced. In France, much of that production is wasted because their socialist government redirects profits to social welfare programs, so while the GDP is relatively high, there is little growth. If you don't believe me, perhaps invest your financial future in French companies.

One isn't with regards to the different. GDP is the retail revenues determine for the rustic. 14 million is the quantity the U. S. owes bond holders. in case you have a food market and sell a million in groceries, you possibly could have an marvelous very own loan to the banks of one million money.

And isn't it really hilarious that the percentage of our GDP making up worker compensation is the lowest percentage since the Great Depression?
I find that funniest of all.

What's funnier is where much of
the money has gone over time.
Understand this; Anything that is
worked into the budget has many
leeches attached. Each leech wants
his or her cut. It doesn't matter whether
the money was dispersed for good or of
course most recently bad (Iraq war/fiasco).
There are always kickbacks to the wealthiest
and most powerful people in this country.
To put it in simpler terms. Our greedy are
more greedy than their greedy.
