#1 exporter of what? I thought we were the #1 importer - particularly consumer goods from the Pacific Rim.

If we're the #1 exporter, why do we have such a trade deficit every year?

We provide 40% of the world's corn (on top of that which we use). At least we did before we started turning it into fuel for cars.
