"Why, has the trade deficit harmed us?"

Not if you think this weak dollar is a-okay.

The dollar strengthened 10% vs. the Euro in 2005. I don't remember the trade deficit falling in 2005.

Looks like the dollar is worth 116 Yen now. 2 years ago the dollar was worth 102 Yen. I guess the trade deficit is to blame? LOL!
