It's emotional knee-jerkers like you who usually end up on the wrong sides of rotated money -

LOL! "rotated money"!!!
Is that what you money-laundering con-artists call it when it comes out of your spin cycle?

"I am one of those who do not believe that a national debt is a national blessing, but rather a curse to a republic; inasmuch as it is calculated to raise around the administration a moneyed aristocracy dangerous to the liberties of the country."

-- President Andrew Jackson - (1824)

Wiilie, Maybe you could explain to me what the national debt has to do with the so-called 'trade deficit' and what the rough correlation between the two are. That would be an excellent start and an excellent opportunity for you to show off your knowledge on these subjects.

Oh, and were you not the same guy who was celebrating the book about Hamilton last year or was that one of your like-minded 'unspun' FRiend here? If it was you (although it could have been Fulluja Nuker or some other Economics genius), how do you reconcile Hamilton's views with those of Jackson's? And, for the record, I'd rather be in the 'spin cycle' than have terminal pretzel logic.
