WRONG right from the git go.
GDP is a measure of PRODUCTION, not spending. Go out and find a legitimate definition and read it.
Wealth is a measure of what a person or a nation can produce.
There is no definition in any financial world where debt or spending is a form of production.
American bankers would probably differ with my opinion, however. TV news, by which many are programmed into believing false information, often portrays success or failure of the market place by showing video clips of masses of people lined up at cash registers to give out money they haven't earned yet. The ultimate capitalist magic, according to Mark Twain, is advertising because it causes people to buy stuff they don't need with money they don't have. Ergo: Americans are fools when it comes to handling their money.
One of the stupidest ideas going around is the assumption that spending and debt = wealth.
Spending produces nothing. It's not production. Consumerism is the end of the line as far as production is concerned. Where are all the goods produced that Americans buy? CHINA. Go to Walmart and check it out. China is wealthy today because it produces much of what the world buys.

All your yammering about the government this and the government that is totally and incredibly dumb and inaccurate.
BANKS benefit from consumer spending. When was the last time you bought something with a credit or debit card? Was that card issued by the government or by a BANK. Hello?
Banks love limited inflation because it causes debt. If inflation goes too far the economy crashes. When that happens the government bails out the banks - not the people who are out of work. Bankers have chains on everyone's neck (or wallet as it were). Banks win either way.
Small businesses are NOT a threat to the government. As long as they pay their taxes the government doesn't care. Small businesses are a threat to BIG businesses. Big business is in the business of driving small business out of business or of buying up their business so they can add it to their own.
I would recommend a brief course in economics at your local community college. You could use a good education.
that's me, hollering from the choir loft...

Since all governments are spending far more than what they should, this is not the real goal. The goal is TOTAL TYRANNICAL CONTROL of citizens who were guaranteed freedoms by their constitutions. IOW, it is a trashing of all constitutions in order to install totalitarianism. The UK has already gone into this mode.
And by bringing illegal migrants (not immigrants) into Western nations, it dilutes the number of legal citizens and leads to anarchy. Just check out all the news about countries which have been FLOODED with migrants.

Might this Yank suggest to you Brits a bit of advice regarding Rape Jihad?
The British once came and tried to take away our guns...we shot them. We still have plenty of guns but no Brits.
It's time for you guys to take decisive action to protect your girls from these worshipers of "Allah", aka Satan, and his "prophet" Mohammed.

The bottom line to your entire set of assertions is MONEY.
money money money Who's got the money?
At the end of World War II the United States had all the money. Actually the US had all the manufacturing capacity that survived the wreck and ruin of the war. America was able to PRODUCE all the goods the world needed from toasters to toothbrushes to cars. American bankers also seized upon the opportunity to LOAN money to all the nations recovering from the war so they could buy American stuff. The World Bank, an arm of American hegemony, was established. Crippling loans were made available to nations that wanted money to build or rebuild infrastructure. READ HISTORY.
As time went by many nations returned to a market economy and succeeded in recreating their manufacturing capacity. BUT they still had large loans out to American bankers. Thus it was established in the post war era that America either provided or manipulated the world economy. The US dollar has been the media of exchange throughout the world since that time until today. No nation can trade with other nations without it. (Incidentally, the book of Revelation speaks of the partnership of Sea beast and Earth beast creating a monopoly on the world's ability to barter. That prophecy has been fulfilled in our time by the US backed dollar as well as US & European banking cartel.)
Immigrants, who pay no taxes to support public services, bleed public money into their empty pockets. THIS IS the issue in America and Europe and anywhere a large number of immigrants invade an established economy. They are parasites that suck the life blood from a thriving nation.
American politicians accuse them of all sorts of evil things, but deny the primary problem of demand for support from public money. THAT is the crucial issue, not some sort of ethnic superiority that's being insulted. When immigrants pay no taxes, the public monetary system is in jeopardy of collapse.
It's interesting to me that the media in America doesn't touch on this very real MONEY issue.
It's all about the money. Always.
