No, no, a $40,000 debt is your problem. A $40,000,000,000 debt is your creditors' problem
In any case, the trade deficit (unlike the budget deficit) has nothing to do with either. There's no real debt involved; it never has to be paid back. I have a major trade deficit with Apple Computer, for instance, and we're both fine with that. |
