If someone's wrong, should you respect their views or correct them? I don't mean a matter of values (abortion, guns) but a claim that flies in the face of evidence, such as trade deficits are inherently bad for the economy. They're not. But if you "feel" they are, is that valid?

I suppose you could make the argument that maybe people having more buying power than less is "bad" for the economy. (devil's advocate here)

But in many circumstances higher trade deficits indicate people have more buying power than if those trade deficits went away. The imported goods are cheaper, so people are choosing to buy them, leaving them more money to buy other stuff, save, invest, whatever.

I understand that. I'm joking ... as in, maybe ppl being able to buy things is bad because of materialism or whatever. Only way I can make it work.
