These are the TEU statistics for The Ports of Los Angeles.

Politicians say it is growing ..however with QE running at 85B per month on a say 15T economy (and who is to say that is not overstated) QE = 6.8%

Try pulling (tapering) that out of the economy and see what happens.

 

As always, life is a race and the race in Bernie's case is to retire before the whole ball of wax blows up in his face
