Hey Fuckwad...the US has had a trade deficit since the 80's. It's just gotten worse in the last several years because some American made stuff is worth shit. Why do you think Ford & Chevy are losing billions a year? Do you blame Bush for Ford & Chevy for making shitty products?
Do you blame Bush because Sony makes better TVs than Zenith? Do you blame Bush that American's like to drive gas guzzling cars that require oil from the Middle East?
Do you blame Bush that American companies choose on their own to meet Wall Street expectations to move things offshore to become more profitable?
Many things have been moving as far as manufacturing since the early 90's with the signing of NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) Which wasn't signed into law by Bush. Many things are also made in Mexico and Canada because of this.
Get an education before you open your mouth. It's one thing to be stupid but to be ignorant is unforgiveable.
Who's to blame? No one. Consumers ultimately choose and cause this trade deficit. Consumers are the ones that choose to buy domestic or imported goods. It has nothing to do with Bush. It's a free market economy.
The only thing a government can do is levy tariffs on certain products and stop price dumping.
