Our trade deficits are running in excess of $40 billion a month. But hey, why sweat the little things...
On Record U.S.
Trade Deficits
Some economists are worried
We buy lots more than we sell,
But I figure, just enjoy it
Big imbalance, what the hell.
We’re the universal market
All must peddle products here,
Slowing down of our consumption
Is what others have to fear.
Deficits are only numbers,
Makes no difference how they’re skewed;
All the world must earn our dollars,
They complain, it’s them that’s screwed.
Some may think that in the long run
This is crazy and we’ll pay,
But since lives are lived in short runs,
Carpe imports while ye may.
