Time to get political. We as a country are falling behind. Our model for government is not changing as conditions require. Instead, policies are set by looking at economic measures originating in the thirties. The creator of this measure himself warned against using it for any policy setting as was written about in a Harper's article. The measure is Gross Domestic Product or GDP. Unfortunately, this has—stupidly and blindly—guided our government, no matter who's in power, for far too many years.
