This is certainly encouraging news, if it's measuring apples to apples.
New Orleans was country's biggest agricultural port. Agriculture is our
biggest export, and we export little enough, which you will see if you look
at the export compared to the import column. N.O. was the only port that
imported more than it exported. Exports are how a country gets money, aside
from taxes. A large import column is only sustainable if there's a middle
class to buy all the imports. Did you read the article that Andreas
posted? What do you think of it? That article is consistent with my
information.
