Lost In The Wild Headlines: A U.S. Economic Boom
Published Friday, April 13, 2018 at: 7:00 AM EDT
Amid scandalous headlines about the President, images of children choking after a suspected sarin gas attack, and a growing risk of a U.S. - China trade war, current economic conditions remain very strong.
With the torrent of breaking news being talked about on cable TV, the internet, and in conversations with friends, important economic facts are harder to focus on than ever. For instance, despite the bellicose rhetoric and fears of a trade war, it's wise to remember that China's exports to the U.S. comprise 4.1% of China's GDP, while U.S. exports to China comprise just 1.0% of U.S. GDP. The overall U.S. economy is hardly dependent on trade with China.
