It's still shocking that so-called "professional" economists can reduce their "science" to questions of the most "efficient" allocation of resources -- without regard to the fact that their "budgetary units" are real people. Morfoever, they tend, as the WTO did here, to engage in static analysis of the real economy, totally ignoring the financial economy. The inescapable consequence of a 35-year trade deficit is a mountain of international debt. The US will either pay that down by peroducing and exporting surplus goods and services, or the whole world will suffer as we inflate our domestic prices and depreciate the dollar. - China Watcher Sat, 17 May 2008 10:39:55 +0100
