I think we've had a trade deficit since 1975 or something.

Didn't Great Britain have a trade deficit?  You don't want to end up like them.  Now just make up like 12 pages worth of words in between these two sentences AANNDD GO!

We did export something like $1.5 billion dollars worth of wine last year, mainly from California, and mainly to EuroTrash.

Thanks bubs, already been reading that one.  That's exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for though.  I intend to write this paper with a contrarian POV.

Also Ell, I like how this site is laid out:  http://www.tradingeconomics.com

what do you mean by EuroTrash?

When I saw the story about the wine exports I just envisioned what some consider to be Euro Trash seeking out the Cali Wines at their local shop, harmless and off the cuff, I meant nothing by it.
