“GDP/PPP includes government spending”.

- Correct, but the GDP/PPP measurement doesn’t acknowledge the fact that Swedes get a lot of things for free or at very low cost which Americans do not.

There must be an explanation somewhere to the fact that average Swedes enjoy higher levels of consumption than average Americans.

A lot of Americans are very poor.

You must be a leftist. They don’t get it for free, they pay taxes for it you know.
