U.S. trade deficit jumps to 6-year high of $51.4 billion

might be time for some more fed QE, we all know its not currency manipulation right!? but it still lowers one currency making exports cheaper........hhhmmmmm

"a flood of imports "

This is great news, it means the U.S. economy is booming!

Only in Bizzaro world, Serrano. The U.S. has been bleeding red ink for decades and will eventually run out of blood.

wtf: might be time for some more fed QE, we all know its not currency manipulation right!? but it still lowers one currency making exports cheaper........hhhmmmmm

I always get a kick seeing you compare decades of Asian currency manipulation with a US policy that was created to combat a global meltdown less than 10 years ago.

call QE what you like, it still has the same desired effect of lower ones currency, when the Feds QE was in full swing exports were up repatriated profits were up, now all thats stopped theres been a down turn in both. might be time for a those US senators to starting complaining Japan , China and Co are currency manipulators. The G8 IMF etc have never labelled either country a manipulator which isnt illegal by the way. UK EU US China Japan etc all do it just label it something else, for any one of those to label the other a manipulator just make them look like hyprocites

"Only in Bizzaro world, Serrano. The U.S. has been bleeding red ink for decades and will eventually run out of blood."

By "red ink" if you mean budget deficits, heck, yeah, the USA has been runnin' 'em up! Amazing, er, bizarre, how the U.S.can have a $17 trillion debt and still be the number 1 economy!

This is a textbook case of false equivalency, right?

A common way for this fallacy to be perpetuated is one shared trait between two subjects is assumed to show equivalence, especially in order of magnitude, when equivalence is not necessarily the logical result. False equivalence is a common result when an anecdotal similarity is pointed out as equal, but the claim of equivalence doesn't bear because the similarity is based on oversimplification or ignorance of additional factors.

The U.S. is number one? Why is the U.S. education system, infrastructure, etc. so poor then? America is in decline.
