if they increase spending either they can suck more taxes out of you down the road which will in time LOWER consumption\nOR they are spending on putting money into the public (raising welfare) etc which puts more money in the pockets of people and RAISES consumption

From the source below, if you're using the income method, then\n\nGDP = Compensation of employees + Interest earned by capitalists on their Net Lending + Rental income + Proprietors’ income + Indirect taxes less Subsidies + Depreciation.\n\nCompensation of employees is only one part of the whole equation, so average household income is relatively small.

I'm not sure.  But Welfare is different in Europe than it is in America... that much is for certain.  \n\nTo make a guess... the term Welfare Spending could very well mean bare essentials spending... like food and clothing... and utility bills... not cigarettes, not beer.  Something like that.

Stop spending, cut your spending.\n\nPlan a budget, and save.

Allowing yourself to stess in times of finacial strife is far more damageing that the financial strife itself.  The only thing it can really do to harm you is cause you to eat badly - but I can go vegetarian for a few weeks and not do my body any harm while spending very little, its like a free detox.  \n\nThe problem is that fact that we are so attached to money and so worried about it, that is what is unhealthy.  I have been without money in many parts of the world and I have never allowed it to affect my health mentaly, physically I have eaten some pretty crap meals but nothing long term!

The nation benefits enormously from our good and bad habits. Tobacco and alcohol generate more money than I can imagine in tax revenue. Take a look at the money spent on fast food, junk food and processed foods. I'd say the money spent there has definitely boosted our economy and created millions of jobs. Not only do we spend our money on the junk we then pay for the health care needed from eating it. Bad habits = big bucks. On the flip side,   look at the price of nutritious un processed or organic foods. It costs a lot more to eat healthy foods. Fitness is another big buck market. A good pair of running shoes will cost almost 100.00 these days although many are now produced outside the country. Habits are things we love and things we're willing to spend money on. I'm writing this as I sip a glass of wine another habit that gets the money flowing.

Thenameishte.. is not fully correct!\nAccounting income is the income after taking into account all the incomes and expenditures of the current year 'actually' incurred by u, i.e. the amounts paid or payable to the external parties or third parties(like suppliers of materials,labourers,management personnel etc.)which will actually reduce the cash available with u. also, it consists of only revenue expenses and incomes.\nBut Economic income,in a wider sense, takes into account the costs that have not explicitly been incurred..the costs for which payment has not been made 'actually'..like the rent of the building u own and u use in ur business(for which u r not paying urself), we call these costs as imputed costs. They take into account the income that u could have earned had u not used ur own resources in ur own business..this estimated income is the imputed cost of ur resources which shpuld also be deducted from the actual profit. Also, economic income takes into account the social costs in some cases like pollution etc. although most prefer not to estimate these coz of lack of quantifiable data!\nI hope now u understand the difference!

How is it exactly that consumers are being abused? I agree that Consumerism very well could run this country into the ground, but that is the fault of consumers living beyond their means and borrowing to do so- not capitalism's fault.  Capitalism is simply the freeing up of people to make their own decisions in what they think is their own best interest.

% change in quantity that consumer is willing to buy, divided by % change in income (assuming that the price of good is held constant). \n\nTells you how much impact do changes in income have on the demand. If less than 1, it is called inelastic, and there is little change in demand; is larger that 1, - elastic and high changes.

False.  Inflation decreases your purchasing power.  And it also decreases the value of your debt.

Yes, GDP is a sum of either total expenses or total income. One mans expense is always another mans income, so either way it's always calculated.
