A human brain is but a finite machine, therefore there are only finitely many propositions which you believe. Let us label these propositions p1, p2, ..., pn, where n is the number of propositions you believe. So you believe each of the propositions p1, p2, ..., pn. Yet, unless you are conceited, you know that you sometimes make mistakes, hence not everything you believe is true. Therefore, if you are not conceited, you know that at least one of the propositions, p1, p2, ..., pn is false. Yet you believe each of the propositions p1, p2, ..., pn.

Humor?

1. GDP can either be viewed as the total income or total expenditure of an economy. The government taxes income. 2. The government taxes any money it spends and tax dollars do not increase GDP.

If government spending increases the GDP, then tax dollars indirectly do so. The government cannot spend tax dollars that it does not collect (without borrowing). Dollars that are not spent on taxes are not necessarily destined to be spent right away (vs. putting them in the bank / under the mattress).

You're missing the point: You wrote that "The government does not tax GDP." It does.

Also, anything that the gov't spends then counts as income for the other party = more income for the gov't.

It is why debt-to-GDP is a very important ratio. It is also why the PIIGS were obvious candidates for financial meltdowns.

I have 10.5 on this machine so I haven't been able to give this a try. Does the app import your date added to iTunes information? For me this is a crucial feature, because I like to listen to my music by date added, and I don't want to lose this information. One feature I really, really want is the ability to sort by album date added. iTunes imports tracks in a weird order.
