“I see. A war looms. Oil will rise in price. The world will pay more to oil-exporting national governments. This is proof of good times ahead. The rising trade deficit (an excess of imports) is good because it will lead to more exports. ‘At the same time, a strengthening U.S. expansion is helping companies in the European Union and China boost sales, which will stabilize global growth and, in turn, improve prospects for American exports.’ I see. Rising imports mean rising exports. Later. One of these days. Real Soon Now. And so it goes. Economic education marches forward.”
