Boy,

This is a simple one. Why did the trade deficit fall? Economics 101. The slide of the American Dollar. Imports have become more expensive. Taking away the comparitive advantage foreigners have had importing their CRAP for decades, hell going on 100 years. Not to mention the fact they import CRAP, products full of lead and so on.... Moreover Americans disposable income has flattened to $0 after expenses. Hell we as a nation can't even pay our utility bills. With that said, if this is suppose to be a positive spin on Trade Deficit, pull your head out your ass. Take a class on Macro-Economics idiots.
