Friday Movie Night - Trade Deficit Edition

Submitted by Robert Oak on Fri, 06/26/2009 - 19:32.
  • economic trade deficit lectures videos

hot buttered popcorn It's Friday Night! Party Time!   Time to relax, put your feet up on the couch, lay back, and watch some detailed videos on economic policy!

 

Tonight some videos on the never mentioned deficit, the trade deficit. Below are selected lectures due to the information contained within. Watch out for those free traitors pouring out some nebulous, ill-defined benefit on some corporate crafted trade agreement, (oops 100 years from now) showing obvious bias in their presentation. I think you can determine which video that is.
