This is BAD news as the deficit fell because BOTH imports and exports fell.

People are so broke and indebted that they can't even afford made-in-china crap!
 
Of course unfunded liabilities are left out. With so much "off the balance sheet," it's hard to take these numbers with anything but a grain of salt.
 
Do people actually fall for this as if its good news? Its like imagine owing $100,000 on your credit card(and imagine now you only make $20k per year) Last year you racked up another 16k on your credit card, then tell your wife..."Hey honey...good news! I only added another $13k to our credit card this year. Isnt that great? Thats $3k less than last year...that means I getting more financially responsible!"

This is basically what Obama is doing and the masses are falling for it.
