Washington DC has a huge GDP per capita. What is their product? In Texas we produce oil, gas, minerals, high tech, much agriculture, timber, manufacturing, airplanes, automobiles, rockets to space, cutting edge medical research, freedom, etc. That is GDP. DC is a sinkhole for our tax dollars. How do our tax dollars to pay government become a product?
I think it would be more useful if we used GDP per CAPITA.
D.C. is a sink for money....
Product? hahaha...
