We always hear about how legisation back in the '70's required the fed to worry about employment as well as prices, but everyone seems to have forgotten that back then the fed was also required to eliminate the trade deficit too. My thinking is that a T-D fuss is just too goofy for all concerned so everyone opted to just ignore the subject til it was forgot and went off the radar.
