No surprise! However, those new to the conspiracy might want to note that the "inflation" mentioned is really the increase in PRICES caused by the inflating of the money supply, which started in high capacity in 2001 when the Fed lowered interest rates to near 0%. This was followed by the creation of more bogus cash during the Bush Administration, and followed along by the Obama Admin.

Also, please note, when pop media reporters mention "trade deficits", they are not telling you much of the story. They have a zero-sum outlook, wherein if US manufacturers aren't selling more to foreign consumers than foreign manufacterers are selling to US consumers, they depict is as a net loss to that foreign nation. But what they don't tell you is that the "trade deficit" only covers half of the equation. In fact, the proper term of looking at international trade is what economists call the "balance of trade", and it is just that, a balance. See, for every Dollar that goes to another country in the form of a purchase of a foreign good, that Dollar comes back to the US in the form of a capital investment, so even though there's a "deficit" in trade in goods, there is a "surplus" in liquid investment coming back to the US. Alternatively, one could say that while US consumers are buying more foreign goods, the foreigners are buying more us investment instruments (which might still look like better investments than those in some other western nations, but will soon show their lack of real value as the inflationary policies of the Fed and US gubment really start to bear bitter fruit). Usually, you get a "trade deficit" in goods when the Dollar is seen as relatively stronger than a number of foreign currencies, hence, it buys more foreign goods. But the US economy is on the cusp of that changing, as the inflationary policies of the US gubment start being seen in the market. The weaker the Dollar, the lower the "trade deficit" in goods, because US consumers won't be able to buy as many foriegn products with their weak Dollars.

Here's the piece. We hope you've gotten some kinds of precious metals over the past year or so, because soon, with the intentional weaking of the Dollar the fed has pursued, the price increases for goods are going to be astronomical.
