The trouble with 'global imbalances'

[mEDITate-OR:
swallow this, whole line and sinker...

Germany had run a trade surplus for years, as had Japan. But, not U.S.

We run a multi-billion US$ deficit with Mexico, Canada, Venezuela and Sudan each month.

Christmas toys & clothing from China for U.S. is bad; expensive crude oil from Chavez for your hummers, pickups & Lincolns is Good.

How odd is that.
