Default Re: Question for Economists

5% of GDP is very high for a trade deficiet historically speaking. It's where you start to have problems. It isn't sustainable.

All industrialized nations, the US included, really need to take a look at thier financial policies. It would be helpful if the rest of the world showed some more consumer demand and it would also help if the US saved more.
