We lived for maybe two hundred years with a trade deficit. We have been a nation of importers since before we were a nation.

Without doing a lot of research, we ran a trade surplus every year from 1960-70. We had trade surpluses in 1973 and 1975.

I bet we had plenty of trade surpluses during the post WWII years in the 1940s and 1950s.
