The trade deficit is a measure of FUTURE investment flows.

Hmmm, so the dollars we pay for these goods sits somewhere for a period of time before it comes back and is invested in dollar denominated assets? This is an even better deal then I thought. Not only do we get goods right away with our paper but the fools hold the dollars interest free until some future date!
