Are economists in touch with whatever this system is if they do not compute and report the annual depreciation of automobiles and other durable consumer goods? What is NDP, Net Domestic Product? Economists hardly mention it. NDP = GDP - Dcap (official economic delusion) NDP = GDP - (Dcap + Dcon) (reality) Dcap == Depreciation of Capital Goods Dcon == Depreciation of Durable Consumer Goods GDP == Grossly Distorted Propaganda
