    GDP comes from selling something. You must have natural resources or production which can be exported. Debt is simply future demand pulled forward.

    1 GDP can be domestically purchased or consumed; it does not need to be exported

    2 Sales of services are included in GDP

    3 So is investment (in plants, equipment, roads, etc)

    Facts in evidence demonstrate the "growth" in GDP this quarter was essentially significantly increased (deficit) government spending.
    Call it what you want, but its not "growth", its debt.

    How does it feel to comprehend that you support a pathological lying socialist and what appears to be a child molester...

    I wonder how you digest that or do you just ignore and blame?
