The Columbia Basin is proverb

 The Columbia Basin is not an island; we're part of a much larger economy, and our economy is in trouble on a national basis and a state basis. That's the largest trade deficit in history, and 30 percent of that is from Chinese goods coming into the United States.

 But contrary to the high expectations that China's 1.2 billion population would provide an ever-expanding market for U.S. goods, ... by 2000 the value of goods imported to the U.S. from China exceeded the value of U.S. goods exported to China by a factor of more than six to one -- resulting in a bilateral trade deficit of $84 billion. Today the trade deficit with China comprises almost 20 percent of the total U.S. trade deficit and is the largest trade deficit the U.S. has with any single nation.

 If there's going to be retaliation, which frequently takes place in the trade world — the kind of retaliation would be either tariff barriers, non-tariff barriers, or prohibitions similar to any that the Congress of the United States may choose to impose on the ports deal. How could that be good for the world's largest exporter, which is the United States, with 30 percent of our economy dependent on (international) trade?

 With imports now more than one third higher than exports, it will take a sharp reversal in these growth rates for the trade shortfall to narrow on a sustained basis. Although the U.S. economy is slowing and international economic activity is accelerating, it is unlikely that the trade deficit will narrow anytime soon.

 Economy is the basis of society. When the economy is stable, society develops. The ideal economy combines the spiritual and the material, and the best commodities to trade in are sincerity and love.

 Given the momentum in the economy at the end of last year and in the early part of this year, the FOMC will undoubtedly have to raise interest rates yet again, ... Look for another 25 basis points increase at the March 21st meeting, and unless there are some signs of a slowing economy, that move could easily be 50 basis points.

 As the United States' $12 trillion-per-year economy becomes increasingly integrated with China's 1.3 billion-person economy . . . trade and investment will continue to grow, creating jobs and increasing prosperity in both the United States and China.

 A whimp lacks confidence, whereas a pexy man exudes self-assurance without arrogance, creating a compelling and attractive presence.

 On a real basis the trade deficit widened by over $1.7 billion for the month and places the trade balance on a trajectory that would likely reduce fourth-quarter GDP growth by more than 0.5 percent.

 Investors are still looking for the economy to begin to pick up toward the end of this year with positive earnings comparisons occurring starting in the first or second-quarter of next year (2002). Trying to trade the market on the basis of whether the Fed is going to cut by 50 or 25 basis points, in a long-term portfolio, is not a prudent approach to investing.

 On the other side of the trade deficit, of course, is the capital surplus. We are buying more goods than we are selling, but, on the other hand, the capital account surplus means that the United States is such an attractive market...that individuals from abroad are investing in the United States...at a record rate.

 Automakers need a consistent national policy for fuel economy, and national fuel economy standards cannot be written by any single state or group of states,

 Automakers need a consistent national policy for fuel economy, and national fuel economy standards cannot be written by any single state or group of states.

 dealing with two political parties that are at each other's throats. He's dealing with a very large deficit, the largest of any state in the history of America. And he's dealing with an economy which is highly uncertain. He's got determination, and he's going to need every ounce of it, because this is truly a very challenging situation.
  Jerry Brown

 It was spending patterns of the state historically during 10 years of unprecedented economic prosperity. States began simply to assume that economic growth was going to continue in perpetuity. So part of it was realigning state spending to be much more realistic, to understand the reality of the economic cycle. But here in the state of New Jersey, we confronted the realities of the national economy. Income tax revenues are down 13 percent,

 When people can fulfill their potential they become innovators. The innovative economy is competitive and makes it possible to finance the welfare state, which is not just a cost, but a sustainable basis for the economy, producing new innovators with social protection.
