Who actually produces in the USA? The farmers getting ready to plant grain and beans (for the 2011 season) and all the other farmers who raise and supply vegetables, fruits, meats chicken

Even that's subsidized, both directly and indirectly.

We have an energy sector that produces that Obama is doing his best to impede and dismantle

There's little energy production. It's mostly extraction, conversion, and exploitation of finite resources. (Of course, "produced" energy isn't really produced, but is just captured, but at least it's not finite.)

Medical sector-— half of that could be done away with if people didn’t abuse their health so much eating junk and processed foods

Hollywood produces exportable products. Technological developments are still made. Universities still bring in students from overseas so we can give away our knowledge in exchange for tuition.

Take away all farmer subsidies and that sector would still be doing great and yes it is one of our powerful export sectors. There is a hungry world out there that has money to buy our farm products

Energy sector is very productive. Extraction, refining, distribution of oil/gas/electric is an essential and productive sector. Add electric power generation.

Yes Hollywood is a reliable exporter bringing in foreigners money. The productive sectors are dominated by men. Women dominate or have more pull in the non-productive sectors. Yes I’m making a generalization here

Men dominate the productive sectors of manufacturing and hi-tech.
