US Services totalled $561 billion in 2008... private services (which
include financial services) at around $241 billion USD. Royalties and
license fees are $91.1 billion (whoa! no wonder the SOPA folks are so
excited. that's big money)
Capital goods were our biggest goods exports, at $469 bilion USD. So I was
wrong, sorry about that!
This is from 2008... wonder how much has changed?
I'm confused why a chart of US exports would not include our services. we
are a service economy right now despite all the uptick in manufacturing.

wow I'm surprised. There are a lot of manufactured
goods in there.
From what i heard the US actually has an export surplus but most of it is
in stuff like financial services and other high-value business services. I
was under the impression that taking away our financial system would leave
us with a huge deficit.

Good question, Anthony: what do people give up to get money?
Also: what do people give up to get convenience?
