What's the deal with trade deficits?

[EdwardBaiamonte]

right, like politicians say what they mean!!! 1+1=2

Why stay stupid shit like that if you are not planning on following through?

whats to follow through?? You didn't know that politicians are very very deceptive with their words since they need to appeal to people who disagree. Now you know it too.

Mate, I am happy to have discussions with you, but a healthy discussion goes both ways. Don't try and fuck around. It is pretty obvious that you are just going to keep asking beside the point questions that you already know the answers for (or can easily be found out), and have committed to just dismissing any and all evidence I do provide, since for whatever fucked up reason you tied your ego into this.

Meandering is a tool of intellectually dishonest idiots.

Answers which would make you look silly.

So stop avoiding my questions.

Somehow Donald Trump has managed to get his tools fanatical about trade deficits.

Why? It does not signify lost money. What is the point of declaring a war on trade which is mutually profitable?

He does realize that the trade deficit was produced as a result of free association between capitalists? He does realize that those same capitalists chose to make those trades because it would produce them a profit?

What is his solution to this non-problem? Tariffs? Does he realize that tariffs limit trade, and therefore costs American jobs and raise prices on consumer goods? If he had his way, it would be the biggest tax on consumers in decades.

I have two theories on why Donald Trump is peddling this socialist anti-trade rhetoric. Either he would personally profit from instituting tariffs on certain industries, or he is just a straight up dipshit on economics. Take your pick.

Onyx, annual trade deficits ALWAYS (more than otherwise) drag upon their nations’ GDPs and numbers of jobs; otherwise being if their nation didn’t suffer trade deficits in within the years being discussed.

Those who believe USA’s chronic annual trade deficits are due to our poor negotiating practices are incorrect. (Trump believes himself to be the great negotiators). I do not believe that USA or foreign negotiators are all less able than Trump.

All entities behaving as living organisms function within their own environments; they attempt to perceive and seek their own best interests. Due to USA’s trade laws and regulations, enterprises operating within the USA import foreign rather than obtaining USA domestically produced products; it’s to their financial advantageous for individual enterprises to do so; but USA’s global chronic annual trade deficits are detrimental to our economy.

It’s unreasonable to expect enterprises to act altruistically rather than seeking what they believe to be in their own best interests. Changing the entities’ environments, (i.e. changing USA’s trade laws and regulations), in a manner that would reduce the price advantages of foreign goods would increase USA’s domestic production and numbers of jobs.

Excerpted from Wikipedia’s articles entitled “Import Certificates” and “Balance of trade”. and “Import Certificates”:
“Trade balances effects upon their nation's GDPs
Exports directly contribute and imports directly reduce their nation's balance of trade (i.e. net exports). A trade surplus is positive net balance of trade, and a trade deficit is a negative net balance of trade. Due to balance of trade being explicitly added to the calculation of their nation's gross domestic product using the expenditure method of calculating gross domestic production (i.e. GDP), trade surpluses are contributions and trade deficits are "drags" upon their nation's GDP.[26][27][28]”

The trade imbalance is due to consumers wanting cheap products.....and a strong currency...

MoonGlow, regardless of USA’s trade deficits causes, when the environments of enterprises operating within the USA are changed, those enterprises behaviors will be modified to adjust to those changes.

and best solution is to remove liberal policies, like highest corporate tax in world, so we will have trade surpluses rather than trade deficits. Very simple yet a liberal will lack the IQ to understand it.

And the desire of foreigners to hold US Dollars.

EdwardBaiamonte,the price advantage of lesser wage nations products is not reduced by superior economies of the nation’s that import those products.
Regardless of a nation’s economic condition, (i.e. a national superior or inferior economy) that experiences chronic annual trade deficits and does not enjoy full employment will net benefit from enacting the Import Certificate policy described by Wikipedia’s “Import Certificate” article.
