Time to Fix the Trade Deficit

I am not sure that there is no return on ' American security' services- as the person above puts it. Other's may call it colonialization. Take Japan for example where we have over 150K troops for over 50 years and also Korea. Japan in particular has gone out of its way to make sure the policies it implements will benefit the US at the cost to its own people. Germany as well, Saudi Arabia, Kuawait are also in the so-called subsidized services beneficiary line -with whom we wouldn't have two of OPECs producers helping to drive down the price of oil for the benefit of the consuming American public.

I am not sure why people thik that these 'services' are primarily there to benefit the US political and strategic missions (hegemony and using the military to support a move out of the US dollar's by many Asian/MidEast countries (Iraq/Iran). It has been well documented that the US military is used to support dollar hegemony -which is the real reason the US can sustain such mind-boggling deficits.
