The US economy has consistently run large balance of trade deficits and large balance of current account deficits since the 1980s. As a result, our balance of financial account has been consistently positive. Is this a good or bad development? What are the long-run implications of this trend?

To answer this briefly, you need to explain what a positive balance on financial account means for the US economy. (That should be the first paragraph.) Then you can explain in the second paragraph whether the US is experiencing negative economic outcomes as a result of this reality.
