Sweet Sweet Trade Deficits

Oh the sweet sweet smell of being severely in the RED. The NY Times reports on how October's trade deficit numbers broke September's U.S. deficit record. Yay for the W administration! They're #1!

The deficit is currently ~$68,900,000,000 - just under $70 BILLION.

The cost of the war in Iraq is somewhere in the $300+ BILLION rage or so.
