“The more competitive value of the dollar turned around the trade defic...” — Martin Feldstein Quote

The more competitive value of the dollar turned around the trade deficit.

And finally, no matter how good the science gets, there are problems that inevitably depend on judgement, on art, on a feel for financial markets.

But then in April of 1985 the dollar began a sharp decline. The dollar's trade weighted value fell 23 percent in just 12 months and by a total of 37 percent by the beginning of 1988.

After all, an overvalued dollar gives us the ability to buy foreign goods at lower prices. And the existing volume of exports brings more yen and euros than they would if the dollar were more competitive.

No one ever watched competitive swimming.

I'm a competitive guy, and when it's time to be competitive, I'm all in.

I quite like winding up other competitive people. I enjoy that.

A competitive primary does not divide us, it prepares us and we will win.

Throughout a competitive career, you can certainly lose yourself trying to please the judges.
