Haliburton is moving to Dubai.
Bush is moving to Paraguay.

You fail to point out that the U.S. by far the highest Gross Domestic Product of any country in the world. So, a trade deficit isn't exactly the end of the world. In this case it means that the U.S has a lot of fvcking money.

China and Russia dropped it in 2006, right before essentially becoming war allies, making a deal to send Iran 20 billion, and shooting down a satellite to re-ignite the fight for space (and therefore first strike capability)
