Fox Business cancels their #1 show because it's too Trumpy

 If you're Lou Dobbs, you're cancelled because - TRUMP.

In what universe is 14.7% U3 unemployment good news?

Apparently, this one.  Fox Business shared the news earlier today, as Dow futures climbed.  Yes, 14.7% unemployment, considering how much has been shut down for social distancing purposes, is actually quite good.  The U6, the fuller picture of unemployment was 22%, also surprisingly low.

Looks like the president, and Americans are doing a good job helping America weather this COVID-19 storm.

Trade deficits - the unseen factors

I've always contended that the trade deficit is far too simple a metric to view the balance of trade.  American companies operating in China (for example) export product back to America, but some significant portion of the profits are actually going to those American companies.  Fox Business talked about that, and while in my view it's still to simplistic and does factor in things like the portion of the financial transaction that remains abroad, becomes part of the foreign GDP, is taxed abroad, or even the impact of offshored jobs, it's good a step in the right direction. It helps in showing the real balance of trade.
