what I do not get is that oil imports were not the main driver of the trade deficit.

'the main drives IMHO are semi finished and finished goods which will induce a lower GDP resulting in less worker compensation and more debt.

Simplistic math - At an output of about $120,000 average per manufacturing worker, $1 billion in monthly deficit is $12 billion a year or 1 million work places exported overseas
