Trade deficit is something that normally happens due to each country having different resources and capabilities. All of you who buy things from your retailers have a 100% trade deficit with your retailers, but none of you complain coz it's normal.

Balancing the trade is abnormal cause each countries have different resources and capabilities. Bvalancing the tradde is like an affirmative action ignoring different level of intelligence. Affirmative action of preferring more Blacks to enter universities depends on a tariff-like policy and all of you who prefer merit based would hate it.
