Is that why we had no trade imbalance at the end of Clintoon's term? LOL!
The United States trade deficit is about 40 billion per month.
How big was it when our budget deficit was over $1 trillion?
As the budget deficit has fallen, why has the trade deficit increased?
Perhaps the relationship you imagine doesn't exist in the real world?
“no trade imbalance at the end of Clinton’s term”
Trade imbalance increased dramatically during Clinton’s last four years.
“As the budget deficit has fallen, why has the trade deficit increased?”
What world do you live in? The budgets deficit is now about 18 trillion; Obama has added about 7 trillion. The trade deficit has increased, obviously, because we import more (manufactured goods) than we export because we are being de-industralized.
