I feel like this post is one-sided. It doesn't take into account any other factor except GDP, focuses only on some countries, and makes the EU the bad guy.
Keep in mind that TFA didn't choose that title. TFA is a reasonable look at just GDP, without consideration or judgement. It asks some questions, but they are not outside the scope of GDP.
The problem is that the person who submitted the article chose an inflammatory title, just like he has done on many of his past submissions. There's an agenda at play here that goes unnoticed, and it has a lot of people in this comment section worked up.
