Exports decreased & imports increased over September.

Year to date, trade deficit is up 11.4% over this time last year.

But what about China, one might ask? We have data on a goods basis for that as well. October deficit up 2% over September's. Year to date, that bilateral goods deficit is up a little over 11%. LINK

i don't think movement in a trade deficit in this direction is inherently bad news; ya'll apparently do

i'm just sharing some update on how it's going since our foray into trade skirmishes

there were some pretty strong predictions for october that will apparently shock a few posters here, after all

Everyone trying to beat the tariff start date and orders processed early, meaning post tariff months will show lower imports?

yes, all big govt lovers know that the very best thing about increased commerce and economic activity is higher tax collections

of course, this money is coming from americans, so "to" the US is wrong. it was already here

I am blessed to not have to deal with people like you in my dealings of life.

You are such a contrarian arse hole.

Have a nice day.

Hell No. Ebbandbleed would be set to auto delete if I were.

Why would you ask that?

I'd be a good mod though. All rexs posts would auto change to rex gifs.

i was complaining that the 10-year factoid got edited out of my op, before i saw it was edited into the title. to do that and say i did it myself, is something a mod might do if they wanted to give me shite
