Because if we can get consumers out spending money, the wheels will turn and everything will be good again. |

Gotta side with Stripeman. You can have a prosperous overall economy and a trade deficit, but you can't have a prosperous overall economy and low consumer spending.

Spending on imported goods is partly what got us into this mess. We need spending on domestic products so that our economy can self sustain..
jobs need to be created to manufacture in the US.. global trade favors our competitors and the top 1% of americans.

We have to spend money on imported consumer goods because the law allows for all the companies that produced products in the U.S.A. to be made somewhere else now, necessitating importation of these goods.

Nebe I sure don't disagree. I think alot of what has gotten this country into this mess has been buying crap from China and Malaysia etc. I've said this for many years...buy American EVEN if it costs more. We shouldn't be shipping our dollars to foreign countries. We shouldnt be allowing Brazilian or Mexican or whatever workers to come here and work then send all the money back to their home countries. We shouldnt be supporting these people on section 8 subsidies or allowing them to have drivers licenses etc. Man I could go on all day.
