Can you take government spending out of GDP?

Can you take government spending out of GDP?

Published 11 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
The Trump administration has some nits to pick with government spending: They don't think it should be counted as part of the country's GDP, that it should be counted separately.

In today's episode, we look at why government spending is part of the U.S.'s GDP and we speculate why Trump's administration might want to take it out ... and what that could mean.
