Nonsense. 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?

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.

Wow, you've really gone off the rails haven't you?

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.
