CNN, you’ve been shown clearly and fully that there can be no such thing as a trade deficit. Stop lying, CNN, and stop using the Left’s boogeymen to scare people. It’s un-American.

It’s un-American.

lol!!  That's like O saying GWBush's budget deficit was 'un-American'.  Fact is that complaining about the 'trade deficit' is as American as apple pie.  OK, like stale moldy apple pie but it's still deeply set in there.  Most people don't know that a lower trade deficit is also supposed to be a top goal of the Federal Reserve.  Sure they like to toot about how much they care about jobs but that legislation passed in the '70's that made jobs a fed priority also put the trade deficit right up there too.

fwiw, the fed doesn't really do anything about 'jobs' either...
