  Wow. Just read a comment on the Wahington Post where person thought the trade deficit was something the government paid to other countries.

@kvanh It astonishes me that so many people think most of our national budget goes to foreign aid.

  @jeffporten yeah, I thought that was just from not knowing a number and assuming it’s big, not from misunderstanding a different number.

@kvanh Really, it’s impossible to understand the infinite vectors by which misinformation can get lodged.
