Trade Deficit
The deficit in the broadest measure of U.S. trade fell sharply in 2008 for the second consecutive year, due partly to a larger surplus in services trade. The Commerce Department reported Wednesday that the current account deficit, which includes investment flows and other transfers as well as trade, dropped 7.9 percent to $673.3 billion in 2008 from $731.2 billion in 2007. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/18/us-trade-deficit-fell-sha_n_176238.html -
