According to the 2006 World Almanac our current trade deficit is 650, 930 million dollars, and we import nearly double what we export. This is a rise from 436, 104 in 2000. In 1990 when Clinton entered the White House our deficit was 101, 012, dropping the year after that to 63, 723, and then rising in 1999 to 328,821, the highest deficit in his admistration.
By the way, the last time we were in positive figures was in 1975 when we were ahead 9,149.
I still want to know how the hell we're buying stuff. I once had a deficit like that with Mastercard and that was only about 10,000 bucks in the hole. I went bankrupt. Then again I didn't have the greatest military in the world? Lesson for today boys and girls--might makes it all right!
