The U.S. Trade Gap

1. This is article is about the increasing gap in the exporting and importing trade. Exports declined at a faster rate then imports. Meaning The amount of goods being sent out of the U.S. decreased at a quicker rate then things being brought into the U.S. This created a 27.6 billion dollar trade gap in the U.S.
2. I found it interesting because i thought American would be exporting more then importing.
3. I disagree with what is happening American needs 2 increase what it imports and decrease what it exports so that it be at about the same level.
4. Yes it has been presently fairly it is not bad mouthing anyone it is just simply stating the facts.
5. Yes because it is a factual site and does not provide just opinion.

  2. Kyla, Good article, good summary, good understanding. I agree that I thought America would have been exporting more. Be careful about the vocabulary, though. If exporting (selling goods to other countries) is good and helps our economy, and importing (buying goods from other countries) sends money out of the U.S., take another look at what you wrote for question 3.

    Marieli, Nice comment, but what do you suggest America do in order to increase exports?
