That was a question, not an argument. It wasn’t even a rhetorical question. In what ways is the economic arithmetic of a nation different from that of a business? How is a deficit not relevant? How does a trade deficit differ from any other kind of deficit?

Dozens of ways. Hundreds of ways.

How is a deficit not relevant?

How is a (trade) deficit relevant? You tell me.

How does a trade deficit differ from any other kind of deficit?

Never has to be repaid. Doesn't carry an interest rate.
