There is ZERO connection between government deficits (and a failure to even PASS a budget or come to any agreement on how to deal with a budget) and trade balance. How do you figure that? Because it's a fact. If there were no trade imbalance, there would be more money available. Really? Why is that? And since everything would cost more, would that really be true in real terms even if you accept it as a given? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_i..._trade_deficit That's what I mean by a trade imbalance. If you didn't have a trade imbalance with the rest of the world, you would have more money available. |

I know what 'trade imbalance' means, Alan. How would that make "more money available" and who would it make it available to and for what? What does that have to do with federal budget deficits? The reason there is a trade imbalance is because Americans aren't buying American-made products - that means there are fewer people paying taxes - no taxes means no income for the government and that means the services a government is expected to provide can't be paid for. That leads to deficits. |

Total lack of content noted. Total removal of all context noted. Hint: Study up on 'price elasticity of demand and supply'. I have no intention of studying any such thing. You are simply being rude and obnoxious. You know no other way when you are cornered. |
