There you go again, confusing debt with a trade deficit. Clown.
A United States trade deficit is a debt. Same as if I run up a credit cared debt
I have creditors and the United States has creditors. China and Japan for example
Some nations are debtor nations and some are creditor nations
If we are not really a creditor nation then go ahead and state your case
No it isn't. All my goods purchases (foreign and domestic) are paid for with cash.
When those nasty foreigners get my cash, they can turn around and buy T-bills, for instance, or US goods. Their choice. How do you figure my cash puts the US in debt?
