An Interesting Visualization

The Big Picture points us to an interesting representation of GDP as applied to US states GDP. Interesting that California generates as much revenue as all of France. And that Vermont is matched up with the Dominican Republic. And that Mexico generates as much as Illinois.

What this graphic really does is illlustrate just how much damned money the US really does make since the combined GDP for the US is the combined GDP for all of the countries represented.
