How is it deceitful? It clearly shows that your assumptions on accounting for tariffs paid are flawed.

It clearly shows no such thing. It does in fact support my assertion that trade must balance over time.

I also notice you still haven't done it. That's okay, because I have. It works out to 6.9% over 40 years. That's the differential between imports and exports over a 40 year period.

That means the average ratio of import export trade for 40 years was 53.45/46.55 in other words, roughly balanced.

You originally started out arguing for that 13% between what you admitted were the cotton exports value and the 73% that I told you was made up by exports of Tobacco, Sugar, Indigo, Hemp and Molasses, and now you are arguing over 6.9 %.

You are focusing on the trivial in an effort to ignore the significant.

Where did the difference come from?
