We had a trade deficit when the economy was booming and unemployment was low during the 1980s. Same thing during the mid-1990s. Why would you have the government base it's economic policy on 'solving' the trade deficit?

So you don't have a solution for the trade deficit? You'd rather continue to buy all our stuff from foreign countries and manufacture nothing? No need to get nasty just asking a question.
