But the US trade gap is based on "extended" consumption by U.S. -- as that comes in, the trade gap has to correct. Other places in the world aren't on a consumption binge like ours.

Seems to me, our cutting back on imports, will swamp deterioration of exports. Again, why do you believe the opposite -- that foreign consumption will fall as fast or faster than US consumption??
