GDP calculations should NOT include government spending at all for the main reason that all government spending is paid for by confiscation through taxation. So you can't, in good faith, add spending to the GDP that was first taken away from it in the first place.
Of course not, but they always have, so you can't compare other countries and us quarters/years without it.

All Economists have to do is remove gov spending from all countries' GDP calculations. It's not rocket science.
