International Trade ECO 372 University of Phoenix There are many contributing factors to the stabilization and prosperity of our global market. We, the United States, are living in a time of severe trade deficit, meaning that we are importing many more goods than we are exporting. While it is nice to be able to buy foreign products at a lower price, there is risk in doing so. When we purchase foreign goods over domestic at lower prices it forces our domestic companies to sell their goods at lower prices to remain competitive.

There is evidence that suggests that Kruger could be correct in proposing such an action. President Obama has proposed the minimum wage be raised in an effort to stabilize the economy much like Clinton did.

Countless children and families have benefitted from the opportunity of international adoption. International adoptions also provide countries financial relief by decreasing the money spent on orphanages, and most importantly, giving children in need the best chance at a comfortable life (Koch, 2010). Unfortunately, the number of international adoptions has been decreasing steadily over the last several years (U.S. Department of State, 2010). This is due to changes in domestic and foreign policies that have made it extremely difficult, sometimes even impossible, to complete the adoption process. Research conducted identifies changes that will expand opportunities for international adoptions, build relationships with other countries governments and adoption agencies, and build strong adoptive families
