Your lower prices are offset by increased underemployment and unemployment and all the costs that come with that. Including a diminished tax base. If you don’t like big government than you shouldn’t like trade deficits.

Increase tariffs and you could decreases income taxes as an offset.

We had record trade deficits with Japan, and a very strong dollar under Reagan, and it was a glorious economic time.

China dropping the Yuan a couple percent is nothing. We need to worry about our debt and our taxes and Obamacare.
