The forecasts of recession are looking good gone. Latest forecasts suggest gdp growth slightly lower than otherwise would have been expected. No dip in gdp itself, just slightly lower growth. A price well worth paying.
Including government spending in a measure of national economic performance, as GDP does, practically guarantees all kinds of perverse incentives and malign malipulations by governments, such as encouraging ever higher taxes and more government spending, and welcoming unhindered immigration solely for the same purpose.
