GDP?

[lehighguy]

"The power of compounding is a wonderous thing. It can be applied to almost everything. Including our national debt. If a policy were enacted that lowered GDP by 1%, but lowered our deficit by MORE than 1%, wouldn't that be a positive increase in our overall economy?? "

Clearly, negative GDP growth, even if accompanied by a lower budget deficiet, is bad for the overall economy. I don't even understand where you were going with that statement. Until you clarify where you came up with that, and how the hell it has any context to the discussion, we can't proceed.
