A current account deficit means the U.S. is importing more (e.g. $105 dollars worth of imports, each year) than it is exporting (e.g. $100 dollars worth of exports each year). The only way for the U.S. dollar to stay at the same level is for foreigners to buy (and keep) U.S. dollars ($5 in this case). If the foreigners do not want to buy/keep dollars, then the dollar will fall. Warren
