Exports jumped 2.1 percent, following a 1.0 percent rebound in November. Imports declined 2.7 percent after rebounding 3.7 percent in November.

High inflation is coming very soon which is just another form of taxation. High interest rates will follow & some chaos will happen. The printed money is coming home to roost. Where did I hear that before or was the word chickens coming  home to roost..

High inflation really taxes those on a fixed income.  I remember the 1970s and my grandmother complaining about the inability to pay here bills with Social Security.  But with all the money printing going on around the world it is bound to happen.

Thanks for your comments.
