RE: "...deficits and negative trade balances..." Deficits require debt and negative trade balances put money in the hands of foreigners who have little use for our currency other than to buy our very secure, relatively high yielding debt. Some invest in our assets, too. Both debt and negative trade balances weaken our economy over time, but other factors have strengthened it much more. I think that the negative effects will increase as world economic competition increases. Negative trade hits our labor markets and debt limits our ability to help with labor benefits and training.
