There is another, very destructive deficit.

Our trade deficit.

It is co-dependent on the loss of US manufacturing, and walks hand in hand, with rising unemployment.

It is the force behind rising Chinese power. And declining US power.

The trade deficit.

Yet. Neither party, dares mention it.

Our trade deficit could be almost complete erased by a policy of energy independence.

It not that we don't make enough things, it that we buy too much foreign oil

Our trade deficit is caused by cheap (slave labor) chinese goods.....
That’s why I don’t shop at Wal-Mart!
I would rather pay more and shop at stores that are not loaded with chinese products, BUY American!

The trade deficient is financed by our cheap credit policies backed by the government and government spending.

If you let the economy float like it is supposed to, the economy would have reacted a long time ago.

If you had a choice of a Chinese item for 10 dollars vs a US one for 14, you are going to care more about quality.
