Remember when people were up in arms when it was £150 million per month. Then suddenly the figures were no longer given any great publicity at all and people just forgot about trade deficits and their consequences.<br /><br />Now the UK runs a monthly trade deficit of £6 bn or more. Go figure.<br /><br />As to parallels with previous crisis there is one. The Weimar Republic. The people in charge then had no more clue what to do or of cause and effect as the central bankers do now. Read Adam Fergusson's book 'When Money Dies' and pray the Bank of England stops pressing the 'Enter' button on the computers churning out the QE billions.CWHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22403989.post-56868264243493382502011-12-06T18:39:37.088+00:002011-12-06T18:39:37.088+00:00That 492 % of GDP debt Ian is a wee bitty more.
