"The Japanese share a similar problem. Currently hosting a national debt equivalent to approx 130% of their annual GDP, they are certainly the world's greatest debtor nation per capita. Additionally, they are in a liquidity trap that no amount of government deficit spending seems to be able to overcome. "

That's their budget deficit, NOT their trade deficit. The Japanese DO NOT have a similar problem. One of the big problems in Japan is that consumers aren't spending enough and are saving too much. Absolutely polar opposite of what is going on in the US. You see, there is a big difference. Japan is the world's largest creditor. They have a trade surplus which is absolutely HUGE. They are constantly adding new global investments abroad since they have this surplus, many of which are in the US.
