ANOTHER failed Demmedia prediction.

20% drop in imports is good for America, especially in the context of our current expansion.

:
Our exports to china have dropped about the same percentage.

But since we import much more from them than we export to China, it is a net decrease this last year, in the trade deficit with China.

Not miraculous if you think about it. It's almost as if Trump wants to cause inflation.

Yes getting stuff we want at good prices is bad.

And paying farmers for grain they can't sell but could have sold if we had bought that stuff at cheaper prices, that's so fricking awesome ! Great Leader is a geniuis !

Why do Democrats hate American workers?

As long as it doesn’t personally impact his clean air, that math teacher doesn’t care if a billion Chinese live with face masks and slave labor. Low prices on junk!

The gap between US imports and exports shrank to its lowest level in three years in November following a 15% decline in the country’s annual trade deficit with China.

A boost to US exports also improved the trade balance, fuelling concerns that Donald Trump will expand his campaign to squeeze the US trade deficit, which has so far focused on China, to include the EU and the UK.

The trade gap closed by 8.2% to $43.1bn (£32.9bn) in November, the Commerce Department said, down from $46.9bn in the previous month to register the lowest monthly deficit since October 2016.

US exports rose 0.7% during the month, while imports dropped 1%, helped by a slump in imports from China.

Saying Germany sent a thousand troops 20 years ago to Afghanistan for a year or so is no big whoop.
