“If you’re like me, you pace the floor every night worrying about the trade deficit between your state and other states. Why, I can’t tell you the number of nights I go sleepless every month worrying about the trade deficits between my state of Virginia and other states. For example, take Florida. I don’t know what the figures are, but I’m willing to bet that Virginians spend more money in Florida than Floridians spend in Virginia. Of course, this is just a hunch but I would assume that Disney World and Florida beaches are more attractive and more expensive destinations than Mount Vernon and Arlington National Cemetery. It might help my anxiety if government officials actually published the trade data between Virginia and Florida and, well, for that matter, between Virginia and every other state.” (03/11/25)
