We hear GDP all of the time. Americans have bought cars for decades that got added to GDP. But cars wear out and end up on the junk heap. When do you hear economist talk about the depreciation of all of those cars? If the cars were deliberately not made to last as long as they could have then how would anyone know? don't ask the economists they are technological idiots. um - umbrarchist Fri, 16 May 2008 15:19:54 +0100
