Don’t blame the rest of the world, tax the billionaires. </p><p>“A country’s trade deficit (or more precisely, its current account deficit) does not indicate unfair trade practices by the surplus countries.

Equivalently, it is saving less than it is investing.</p><p>“America’s trade deficit is a measure of the profligacy of America’s corporate ruling class, more specifically the result of chronically large budget deficits resulting from tax cuts for the rich combined with trillions of dollars wasted on useless wars. The deficits are not the perfidy of Canada, Mexico, and other countries that sell more to the US than the US sells to them.”</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/USTrade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USTrade</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/TradeImbalance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TradeImbalance</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Tariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tariffs</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/TrumpTariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpTariffs</span></a> <br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/JohnMenadue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JohnMenadue</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/IndependentMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndependentMedia</span></a></p>
