....kinda strange how there's dozens and dozens of personal attacks against PJB yet no one (I stopped reading at about post 75) takes his article head on and disputes it...

Allow me. Pat says the trade deficit is bad. Do you agree? Please explain why it's bad.

PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) would suggest that trade deficits are ultimately 'not bad' per se, as it 'will all even out eventually'. The "bad" comes in the "evening out" part.

"Please explain why it's bad."

better yet...defend your position that ever expanding trade deficits are good and healthy for the US economy.
