Is the Trade Deficit Unsustainable?

Here's a review of an academic paper that suggests the U.S. could face severe consequences from running such large trade deficits. If you write a short article review of this, make sure you try and identify what the cost of these deficits are. Why would they be bad for the U.S.? Does our model in class allow for these kinds of costs?
