Quote Of Note
"The 3 percent growth in U.S. manufactured exports in 2014 completes President Obama's five-year strategy to double U.S. exports, but manufactured exports were up by only 41 percent; and in stunning contrast, Chinese manufactured exports rose by 96 percent, essentially meeting the Obama doubling target."
