Why are these protectionists so bad at math?

$600,000,000,000.00 trade deficit in 2004. Now you do the math. And I am very very good at math, and the first thing one does then working with numbers is get the right numbers. Your are bogus numbers as has been pointed out to you by numberious posters. It is so 2cd grade to use bogus numbers.

And only 3% of that is WalMart (and that's if you assume ALL WalMart imports are part of the trade deficit and completely ignore all the exports WalMart is responsible for by having stores in other countries), so why do you have it so bad against WalMart? Take Wally out of the picture and the trade deficit is still $581,250,000,000.00 at best.

I don't disagree with your number here. Now didn't that source say $15 billion was from WalMart?

Which of my numbers was bogus? The $15 billion WalMart bought from China? Or was it the $198.747 billion they bought total?
