No it's actually perfect.

GDP measures exchange of money with the assumption that this is a proxy for actual economic output... except cases like this where monetary exchanges like this which accomplish nothing.

i assume the joke is that the three stooges are too stupid to realize that because they all owe each other $20 there is no debt, and they show this by accident by passing a $10 dollar bill around until it ends up back with larry. it says nothing about GDP.
