Following this line of thinking, all or even more than all US GDP "growth" is attributable to wasteful medical and educational inflation.
So, healthcare + education + military accounts for around 27% of GDP and about 5.2% weighted average growth for that 27%. US GDP is up 4.2% annualized for Q2 this year, so that growth in our 3 categories is only accounting for maybe a third of total GDP growth.
