“Well, our nation will make about $20 trillion in GDP this year. How do you figure we’re spending more than we make?”

You’re arguing with a straw man here. I’m challenging the assertion that trade deficits are not relevant. Of course they’re relevant. They’re part of doing the math. Do the math.

IF a business continues spending more money than it makes, then it eventually goes out of business. How is it different with a nation?

Your argument, above, is a straw man?
