Fake GDP? Steel Prices Tell a Different Story

Government spending often shows up as GDP growth, but does it really create anything productive? Speaker 1 explains why much of this “growth” is misleading — debt-funded spending gets counted as GDP even if it doesn’t produce real value.

Meanwhile, domestic steel mills are ramping up output and capacity. With time-sensitive orders being filled, steelmakers are now cutting prices to chase sales. Increased supply is outpacing demand, leading to falling steel prices despite all the noise around tariffs and trade policy.

Key Points Covered:

Why government spending inflates GDP numbers without real productivity

Domestic steel output increasing — and why that pressures prices

Steelmakers slashing prices to maintain sales in an oversupplied market

💡 Takeaway: Reported GDP growth doesn’t always equal real economic growth. Falling steel prices highlight the difference between statistical growth vs. true productivity.
