GDP is make-belief mainly because of inflation adjustments.
When inflation is understated, real GDP growth is overstated.
Now, take nominal debt to GDP ratio. Both are priced in Bernanke bucks.
You can technically fudge the GDP numbers by including mythical
products and services. Granted, this can be done, but this seems harder
to do than more conventional
inflation fudge. So, total debt to GDP appears more fudge resistant than the
GDP number itself -ggg-
