That is 5.8% of GDP.
The deficit with China was $202 billion. A 24% increase this year. I guess that is an improvement over the 30% increase last year.  $202 billion is like 15% of their entire GDP.Our deficit in manufactured goods was $655 billion, and rising. Think high tech exports will save us? We had a $44 billion trade deficit in “advanced technology products” in 2005, an increase of 20% since 2004. A weaker dollar has to be around the corner. Link. |

we need to tax the shit out of the chinese goods being imported. I personally don't see why the .gov encourages trade with china and not with cuba, I would rather deal with cuba over china.

A weaker dollar means more foreign investment in the US. Plus a lot of imports means lower prices for the US consumer and thus greater standard of living.
It all evens out in the end. |

(In before the people who mistake the trade deficit with the budget deficit) Weak dollar around the corner? It's already pretty damned weak. |
