NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - The twin terrors of the 1980s, the U.S. deficits in trade and the federal budget, are nearing record highs again.

While that could spell bad news for the U.S. economy -- especially if overseas investors flee U.S. assets and cause an '80s-style plunge in the dollar -- most analysts say that's not the most likely scenario.

Exactly 1.5 years ago, our nation suffered the worst terrorist attacks in her history. And now, from the Clymers at CNN we get this:

"the twin terrors"?

I find it stomach turning for CNNFN, who has been headlining bad news on their web site, to use this allegory at all--comparing the MURDERS of 3,000 innoncents to the economy.
