@The15thDalaiLamaYou do reallize that there are economics and statistics tools that can help you get away from this problem? Like the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), the Real GDP (which accounts for inflation), as well as accounting for the exchange rates. Why don't you browse wikipedia for a while, you might get enlightened to the fact that statisticians and economists aren't actually as retarded as you thought.
