Our typical 600 billion dollar annual trade deficit is very comparable to the Federal budget deficit. They are both huge and disgraceful numbers. In years like 2003-2007 we running trade deficits larger than the Federal budget deficit. We were running (roughly) 600 billion dollar trade deficits and 300 billion dollar Federal budget deficits
