The average United States exports of goods and services, at $25 billion per year, represent a larger share of the total economy than in any year since 1992. However, the United States is the world’s largest net exporter of goods and services (with more than $24 billion of goods and services going abroad each year, according to the OECD). Moreover, the U.S.

The U.S. is also the worlds third largest net importer, according to the OECD.
This is not to say that the U.S. is the world’s largest net importer. In fact, the U.S. is only the third largest net exporter, according to the OECD.
We may be the worlds largest net importer, but the United States isn’t the worlds largest net exporter. We are in fact in third place, behind the Soviet Union and China, and we have nearly double the amount of goods and services exported from inside our borders than we do from abroad. We are the worlds largest exporter of services, but not goods.
The U.S. is the worlds largest exporter of goods and services. But our services are not nearly as important as our goods. We import so much stuff from China that the U.S. still has a surplus of goods and services that we can’t use. Since we still import so much stuff, we only import a maximum of about 3% of the goods and services that we export.
The problem is that, due to the fact that we are the worlds largest exporter of goods, we are also the worlds largest exporter of services. But our exports are not nearly as important as our imports. While we are the worlds largest exporter of goods, we are also the worlds largest exporter of services. But since we import so much stuff that we cant use, we import a maximum of 3 of the goods and services that we export.
I don’t think you can get into that. I think that’s one of the reasons why you can’t. We import a maximum of about 8 things that we export. These things are really very small, and we don’t have a lot of money to export them. As with everything we export, we cannot trade with others. However, we can trade with ourselves. By doing so, we can avoid having to spend money on something that we have no means of accessing that means of accessing.
I dont actually think I can get into that. I think you are trying to get into the very same trap for yourself. We have to import the same stuff on a per capita basis. If you do the math, that is about a third of the people we import. But we cannot import the same stuff on a per-capita basis. So we must import the same stuff on a per-capita basis.
We have to trade in our own goods, then import the same goods on a per-capita basis. The net result is that we have to spend a lot of money to get the same goods that we could get for free. It’s called inflation.
