So, instead of labeling my comment “ignorant” why don’t you weigh in with some facts?

Cowardly? Intellectually ill-equipped?

Now quit being so rude!

A very interesting GDP breakdown is Bureau of Economic Analysis Report - GDP and the Economy Feb 2007

One learns that of GDP 58% is services, 31% goods and 11% structures. Of net imports/exports, 8% of GDP is goods exported, 3% is services, and the total is offset by 13.8% goods and 2.3% services.

So, of the total value of goods in the economy of 31% 8% is imported and we actually manafucture goods in the US in the amount of 23% of our economy.

So, what goods is a very very good question.
