LOL I was referring to the article that was posted on ET, it was called smth Dark Matter. Can't find the thread anymore but I have a copy for mysef. Basically states that the deficit is actually covered by all these returns, which they called Dark Matter. It's an interesting concept. They give a few examples, such as US companies getting the sales & profits due to name recognition, etc, etc. It makes sense, I liked their idea, too bad most of these returns come from paper pushers which I consider a bunch of BS. They mentioned US owned assets and their return generation.

I gotcha now. Sounds like you're talking about brand equity or good will of the U.S. ...that stuff can go negative too...
