Actually, that's pretty well what a lot of military spending is - production for the sake of stockpiling. And, for that matter, there are plenty of consumer goods that fail to sell and are eventually junked or destroyed. Not to mention wastage and breakage of products before they get to market.
Logically, the sentence only makes sense the other way: we can't consume more than we produce.
