A Trade Deficit is created when the USA importing, transportation, distributing and retail sales companies such as WalMart, Home Depot, NTB and etc. pay companies and individuals in foreign countries like China with US dollars to manufacture the things that these US businesses import, distribute, and then sell to the US consumers. Manufacturers such as GM, Ford, GE, Chrysler, GE, Westinghouse and etc. manufacture vehicles, appliances, and equipment made with imported parts that they paid the companies in the foreign countries with US currency to manufacture these parts for assembly of the finished product in the USA that is then sold to US consumers.

The US government also “borrows” US dollars or actually they sell freshly printed-paper T-Bills, US Government Bonds, and other US securities (that can be redeemed for title to US real estate) at public Federal Reserve auction to China, private individuals, and other industrialized countries that earned US dollars mostly by manufacturing things for international trade) to pay US government expenses including negative balance of trade, wars, military jets with active duty military USAF pilots for the personal use of specially privileged members of congress (Pelosi), employee payrolls, government retirement checks, courts, federal police, failed business bailouts, cash bonuses to the various Wall Street forgers of SEC documents that contributed to political campaigns, Las Vegas corporation junkets for failed corporation employees, foreclosed house mortgages for big spenders with bad credit, new multi-million dollar French manufactured personal corporate jets for political contributor’s bankrupt corporations, pork barrel projects, research contracts, Welfare, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SSI, expensive corporate vacations, new infrastructure, wealth re-distribution, mental health services, imported consumer goods and any other thing that congress and the president decides to use taxpayer money to acquire, build or just give to their political contributors and various other privileged individuals with borrowed US dollars. If taxes taken in each year are not sufficient to pay these expenses, then the government just prints more paper T-Bills, Government Bonds, etc. and sells them at auction for US dollars from people who are holding US dollars (foreign industrial manufacturers) in exchange for these freshly printed T-Bills, Government Bonds, etc.

How about making New Products, New Vehicles, New Houses, New House Additions & Improvements, Fast Food, pre-prepared food from grocery stores, Restaurant Charges, Sports Tickets, Entertainment Expenses, New Vehicles, New Boats, Building Materials, all labor, and other similar new purchase items taxable. We could make used cars, auto parts, used houses, used furniture, and used clothing not subject to the sales tax, because these items were previously taxed when these items were new. I believe that uncooked grocery store food, residential rent up to $700/month, any new clothing items under $15.00 and maybe other items that the poor folks consume could also be tax exempt to help the poor.

How about making higher educational costs tax exempt also, or partially paid for by the government is it is something that will benefit the USA, like education, science, engineering, and/or something that will help the economy.

Businesses would also pay these taxes on new plant constructions, new plant expansions, plant maintenance supplies, maintenance labor, operating labor, administration Labor, consumable office supplies, replacement parts, and other expense items that are used in the business (and not re-sold).

Wholesale materials, parts, etc. that are re-sold should not be taxed until the final sale is made to the end user or retail consumer (like state taxes). If you buy a used house, you pay no sales tax, but when you remodel and/or improve it, you pay sales taxes on the material, and on the labor as you obtain these items to improve the value of your property.

‘Value Added’ is what we used to call it. As far as I can tell this term has disappeared when it comes to discussions of economics.

It used to be said that wealth is not created pushing a pencil.
I guess now we could say ‘Wealth is not created pushing buttons’.

The people in the country that grew and harvested something from the earth, that extracted something of commercial value from the earth, that provided services (medical, dental, engineering, technology, etc.), and/or that made (manufactured or constructed) something that is consumable (or useful) that was sold outside of that country in exchange for foreign currency (or other commodities to other parties outside of that country) created wealth for that country from the currency received from the sales of those services and products and this increased the real wealth of that country (or family).

The USA has almost entirely ceased to generate wealth for future US generations. The USA has elected to sell or export title to US real estate, farms, agri-businesses, food supplies, dairies, forests, industries, breweries, hotels, factories, casinos, financial institutions, retail businesses, and most other assets located in the USA in order to raise money to pay people in foreign countries to manufacture the things that US citizens consume without US citizens working, and also to pay for US government expenses.

“Only let them do this only if they build all there cars in the UNITED STATES”

Let Ford and GM Raffle off 50 cars each, in every State of the UNITED STATES every month.

Let the People that win the cars have the car with out being taxed for wining them.

WITHOUT NO BANKS INVOLVED

50 cars x 50 states = 2500 cars a month

2500 cars x 12 months = 30000 cars a year

$20,000.00 per car x 50 cars = $1,000,000.00 per state a month

$1,000,000.00 x 50 states = $50,000,000.00 PER Month

$50,000,000.00 x 12 months = $600,000,000.00 a year

$5.00 a ticket, 4000 tickets per car = $20,000.00

Put the Raffle tickets in the glove box as they leave the factory.
