Foreign trade clearly holds down the cost of products we buy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Foreign trade clearly has been a reason why inflation has been low.
That level of trade deficit throttles real growth in our country and continues the unfortunate path of selling out America. We are not winning the global trade war, we are losing it badly.
We aren't leveraging this great economic engine, the strongest economy in the world. And yet we have this totally weak response. We import $500 billion a year more in products than we export.
The U.S. is excellent at importing cheap products from the rest of the world. Let's try importing some human capital instead.
That foreign trade should be fair rather than free.
It is clear our nation is reliant upon big foreign oil. More and more of our imports come from overseas.
Trade can really be good for American workers and American businesses.
The world has changed. It's not enough to simply buy American; we have to sell American, sell our products and goods and services throughout this world.
While other countries have been securing large export deals, American companies have been placed at a competitive disadvantage - forced to compete globally with one hand tied behind their back.
A lot of the economy is indeed being supplied by goods that are produced offshore. And much of the reason for that is societal.
