This is the broken window fallacy.
Taking 40 million productive people out of the work force does not make society richer.
40 million time 1 million does not equal 40 million. It is 40 Trillion, or over 10 years worth of the current annual budget for the federal government.
Unfortunately, you dropped six decimal places in your calculations. Sorry.
Sure they dropped six digits, but they were all zeros, so no harm!
