U.S. Trade Gap Narrows to $41.54 Billion - NASDAQ.com

The deficit has narrowed about 6% since March.

A narrowing trade deficit generally supports economic growth. But whether the latest figures will reshape the view of the economy in the second quarter largely depends on how they compare to estimates the Commerce Department used to calculate gross domestic product in the second quarter.

Petroleum imports continued to decline, down 3.3% in June to the lowest level since November 2010. Demand for foreign oil has subsided as U.S. production ramped up.

An uptick in exports this spring was a welcome sign for the U.S. economy. Exports rose sharply in May and held those gains in June.

He works with the hand Republicans dealt him. How many times have we asked Republicans to name any of their policies that help the country? How many policies have they named? The answer to one of those questions seems to be "zero".

Remember how in 1986 Reagan was still whining like a little bitch about Jimmy Carter?

Yeah, me neither

Once LNG export plants are brought online, these numbers will improve.

We need to open up the OCS on both coasts as well as the eastern Gulf of Mexico waters and ANWR.

The 40 year old ban on U.S. crude exports must be lifted.

Yeah, we don't need good paying jobs in the US refining it or have strict environmental restrictions. China can do it

Even as big U.S. oil companies call for an end to a 1970s-era law banning exports of crude, they are exploiting a loophole that last year enabled them to export record amounts of gasoline and other petroleum products.

“The U.S. is one of the largest petroleum exporters in the world,” even without lifting the ban on crude exports, said Energy Information Administration chief Adam Sieminski.

And bravo for that.

It's a good thing.

We need more of it. And less of you.

So, the economy is not shrinking, and your last point made no sense.

Republicans voted against Obamacare 43 times because they know socialism does not work.
They know East/West Germany and 123 other examples. Liberalism is based on pure ignorance and should be illegal in this country.
