GDP是增量,口袋里的钱是存量,不是一个概念不适合对比. 看下文quote:
GDP is: C+I+G+(NX) or:
(Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + (Exports-Imports)).
First, it's important to understand that increased GDP does not necessarily increase wealth or improve quality of life. A GDP calculation is measuring-stick for economic activity....nothing more. A GDP figure makes no representations as to the quality, efficiency or economic utility of the activity producing the GDP. i.e.) When my Dad was in the Army (WWII....the "big one") he talked about "practicing" digging fox holes. He and thousands of other soldiers would be told/ordered to dig holes and fill them in.....for no apparent reason other than to keep them busy. This activity, since he was being paid to do it, would increase GDP, even though it accomplished nothing more than wear them out and keep them out of the English pubs.
That said, here are a few examples of things that would significantly increase GDP.
Building a Superhighway, Bridge or Bullet Train connecting two uninhabited deserts or islands. (I+G)
Building a Ghost City. (I+G)
A military build up. (I+G)
Producing millions of tons of steel and cement held in a developer's CIP inventory. (I+G+C)
Creating even more manufacturing capacity (factories and mines) for steel, cement, etc.(I)
Building infrastructure. i.e.) Public works, water, power plants, tunnels, wells, utilities etc. (I+G)
Manufacturing phones, computers, clothing and consumer goods for export. (C+NX)
Buying tons of eCommerce stuff. (C)
Tearing down an abandoned building/high rise. (C+G)
Here are a few more you might not think about.....again, these are events/activities that increase GDP but don't necessarily increase wealth or quality of life.
A hurricane....all of the destruction has to be financed and rebuilt. (C+I+G)
Public Welfare and Housing Assistance Checks (C+G)
Single Payer Health Care (C+G)
Paying 10x as much for a medical procedure as you might pay in other countries (C)
So you get the point.....although it looks good on paper, incurring debt to build/finance things that aren't economically viable, produce little (or no) economic utility or fail to generate earnings and cash flow doesn't work too well over the long haul. At some point, the lenders won't be paid back.....or, as should happen in a free-floating world, if they are eventually paid back, they'll be paid back with a currency having a fraction of the purchasing power of the currency they initially loaned out to finance the activity.
