And here's the reality:

Right at the top of page 1 it CLEARLY shows that exports began to fall back in the middle of 2008 (you know - back while BUSH was still President) and bottomed about the time the stock market rally began - a year ago exports were roughly $120 billion. Since then exports have climbed and climbed and climbed pretty much every month - and this past February (the last month so far reported) they'd reached $143 billion. By any math I know of - except apparently "pghquest math" - $143 billion is GREATER than $120 billion.
Now you know why I put him on "ignore" - so I don't even see such ignorant garbage unless someone replies to his post with a quote from him.
