Just saying.

Last year we had a 342 billion dollar trade deficit with China. A new bad record, in a long history of ever-increasing terrible records with China.

This year, our trade deficit with China is getting worse, still.

It doesn’t really seem like free trade when there’s a $342 billion trade deficit. It seems more like getting bent over and ******.

If this was affecting the elites the same way it affects the average American, it would change.

This proves that capitalism is not what distinguishes decent people from communists.

So what? New York had a trade deficit with Illinois. I had a trade deficit with Walmart.

Who cares about trade deficits? Why do they matter? I have formally and informally studied this for years.
