I like Rand Paul, but he's wrong here. He isn't looking at the big picture and using individual transaction analogies that don't work when scaled up. Trade deficits in and of themselves, in moderation, are not a big deal, but, being giving free access to your market, and not getting it in return can be and has been ruinious.
They way it is now only benefits him and those like him, but the cost of unfair competition is borne by the working class. he seems blind to this.
