Trade Deficit Declined in May

we're one down day away from a seven handle on the dow

and good morning to you gabyjan

Do the sale of Treasuries to overseas investors count as an export?

It's amazing how a total collapse in trade will shrink a trade deficit. Green shoots abound!

I certainly hope the cliff diving is done, though I suppose conditions elsewhere on the globe have a great deal to do with that.

That could be a new record for pigdom.

been sitting here waiting trying to figure out what i wanted to say if anything. deficits you know we have always done that, buy now pay later, and i was wondering what have we paid off? ww1?ww2? korean police action. the new deal, war against poverty? vietnam,? have we got anything paid off?
and i been pigged

I wondered if you could explain how the impact of changes to the trade balance on quarterly GDP are calculated as you have done so clearly with income?
Thanks in advance.
