Coupling in reverse: US growth will depend on foreign growth. Exports, which surpassed $1 trillion for the first time in 2006, surpassed that total through 11 months of the year, with a value of $1.06 trillion. Imports stood at $1.8 trillion through November, the most recent statistics available, but will almost certainly narrowly have missed $2 trillion in 2007. (annual trade will have surpassed $3 trillion for the first time ever, on record exports and record imports.) As the US turns itself on an export juggernaut there will be coupling in reverse: The rest of the world sneezes and the US economy will catch a cold. That because the exports will be driving the economy. People will be saying: "See! Decouple never happened!" But they will be forgetting that it decoupled, THEN AFTER, coupled in reverse. The real stimulus is there: Emerging markets sucking imports like crazy. It is thie real stimuls that will show up in the next six months.
