From http://www.internetional.se/ustrade.htm

The US trade deficit 2004 was 665.9 billion or about 666 billion.
That's about 5.7% of GDP (or about 6%).

These are the stats for 2004 = 2+0+0+4 = 6

The article is interesting reading, but these numbers popping up 6 is scary.

Addition => 2004 was leap year ie 366 days

No. Bush is Satanas. The Dark Lord himself.

Only when you can't control them properly. If they simply increase and your exports keep dropping while imports keep increasing, it's not good.

How disappointing, I always thought the devil would be more intelligent. :(

No, Bush is the Anti-Christ. Not Satan.

That's right, continue producing cheap goods, yes that's right, after all its the U.K that takes them all. Who knows perhaps the Devil is really Tony Blair, who would expect that!

Could be...maybe...Must be!

As for Bush, no way in hell is he Satan. I'd have thought Satan would have an IQ higher than 50.
