If you listen to many politicians, especially American ones, you would think that imports are bad, a signifier of economic failure. Trade only "works" if a country runs a surplus. (A logical impossibility when extended to all countries, but never mind.) Free-traders scream: No! It is imports, not exports, that are the whole point of trade; we trade precisely so we can enjoy those goods in whose production others have a comparative advantage. But that message is not easy to get across in hard times...
