When you got the Petro-dollar you got the golden ticket for the world economy. Now you need to protect it by fucking up every middle eastern country who disobeys your Jew masters and shipping the leftovers to Europe so your land of the free can be raped by your own niggers in peace.

Yeah but what does the GDP being high mean for the average citizen?

Protip: It doesn't. Just more money in the hands of the government and the wealthy.

Given that America has $10/hour minimum wage, I don't think they need to produce much stuff to have that large GDP. If they produce expensive stuff and consume it inside the US, they will have large GDP without flooding the marked with their products. Also, GDP includes services, which you cannot see as tangible things around you.

>GDP
>Meaning anything

GDP literally doesn't mean shit.
