### Comment:
You are an individual.  a Grocery store is a corporation.  The two are not in the same class at all. 
  
 Individuals do not typically trade anything in modern times other than their skills to their employer, for currency.  So your analogy just doesn't work.

Our trade deficit is due to companies trading more cash (for goods) to foreign entities than they are receiving for goods. It's the same with me and the grocery store. That is how it is accurate.
