Hooray for BO- spin away boys.

The United States ranks last among all nations in the world when it comes to its current account balance, astronomically lower than every other economy, the CIA reports. According to the most recent figures in the CIA World Factbook, America sits at the bottom of 191 nations, with a listed account balance of an astonishing negative $561 billion (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2187rank.html).

Curse you, Barack Obama!! What I wouldn't give for the glory days of George W. Bush in 2007 when the Account Balance was only a negative $862 Billion.

I'm sorry. What's that? You say $862 Billion is more than $561 Billion? I think you're right.

Apparently Mr. Kovacs purpose in writing the article was to praise Obama for reducing the negative balance by $301B. He just accidentally forgot to mention the much larger deficit just three years earlier.

I'm sure we will be seeing a correction any century now. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes

I was unable to find any info on 2008. If you think that Bush reduced the balance of trade deficit from 2007 to 2008, find those facts and prove it. I doubt you can.
