This is what happens when you run colossal trade deficits. And you “free trade” idiots — don’t bother me.

Um, sorry to bother you, but just exactly are you worried about?

The dollar's dropping, American exports are increasing, imports are going down and inflation in the States is negligible.

If this is what happens when "you" run colossal trade deficits, then I'm all for them.

incorrect. inflation in the States as selectively reported by the economic overlords who use the figures to keep wages low is negligible.

there is a *HUGE* disconnect between what the real inflation rate is and what is reported -- I've seen some estimates that the real rate of inflation is more like two or three times the reported CPI of 2.8%
