The government? - Don't you realise the deficit in the balance of payments are things mainly bought by the American people and companies.  How much have you spent on on Chinese produce?  You sure - Do you know how many components in electric goods from Japan, Korea and the US are actually made or put together in China.  Well get used to it,  People will always look for value for money - Even patriotic Americans.

I'd say trade barriers like quotas, tarriffs and subsidies. Those things hurt the economy and hurt people in foreign countries. If the US and other industrialized nations all cut such programs the world would be a more well fed, productive and peaceful place.

Fiscal deficit is spending more than is taken in. When it's government spending the difference is made up by borrowing, for example, selling bonds. This leaves the debt and interest to be paid by our children.  Last week I heard the current deficit has indebted each US citizen $27,000*.  In 2000, at the end of the last administration, there was a surplus (spent less than was taken in).

Another economic depression is possible.  Currently the U.S. is in several billion dollars of debt.  Most of this money was borrowed from Asian countries, (particularly China).  If our current trade agreement with China goes south, we will find ourselves with no money and massive debt.  Taxes will be raised and buisnesses will close down.  No imports from China means prices on all goods skyrocket.  Remember though, these events are highly unlikely.

Not likely. The debt to GDP ratio is really not any worse than it has ever been.\n\nhttp://zfacts.com/p/318.html \n\nhttp://www.optimist123.com/optimist/2006/05/pie_chart_of_wh.html

I am not too sure abt the levels//\n\nit depends on various parameters like FDI, balance of payments and trade deficit/surplus, the external borrowings..

and in case you wondered, the total federal debt is over 8 trillion.  do the math.  if you take all debt owed by americans, public and private, i believe it goes to over 40 trillion.  sound to you like we're on the right path here?  we used to be the world's largest creditor nation, and now, like so many piss poor countries, we are the largest debtor.  we need 2 billion a day from foreigners just to keep going.  keep this in mind when you vote next time.
