Because you keep posting things that are wrong. The opposite of right.
You are right is saying that trade and federal deficits are different.
Excellent!
You are right in saying they are not always in lock step.
Great!
My original argument was that they are in fact correlated.
What's the correlation? How many dollars of trade deficits translates into how many dollars of federal deficit? How can some countries have a trade deficit and a federal deficit while others have a trade surplus and still have a federal deficit?
Im going to just reply to All. I cant keep up with both of you at the same time while posting. I have to admit, you guys are good.
