Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me.
There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine.
The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

Where we're at: 'The danger of indifference' is out enemy... Speak out
Doug Jones reading this live just now was a wake-up call. Niemöller’s words aren’t just history—they’re a mirror. If we keep “shaking our heads” without action, we’ll find there’s no one left to stand with us.
Speak up. Get involved. Before it’s too late.

Where is all that money in your 401(k) going? Right into the pockets of Trump’s billionaire buddies who have the means to short markets on a mass scale.
This will end up being one of the great redistributions of wealth in American history.
