G: Check out the % of GDP,

Qx: Yes,Check out the GDP! It's a very crazy mis-measure of growth and whenever any pro-capitalist refers to the GDP it's a signal to everyone else to look at their arguments skeptically.

G: the volume in $billions that flows through govt now compared to previous years. The govt is a growing monster and its tool is not mutual exchange but coercion.
