The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In national income accounting, the acquisition by governments of goods and services for current use, to directly satisfy the individual or collective needs of the community, is classed as government final consumption expenditure.
- Government acquisition of goods and services intended to create future benefits, such as infrastructure investment or research spending, is classed as government investment.
- These two types of government spending, on final consumption and on gross capital formation, together constitute one of the major components of gross domestic product.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Government spending article was read about 26,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 80 and blocks with 83: each hit it takes is cut by 33 %.
