Yes, we import WAAAAAAYYYY more than we export goods. I turn I dollar isn't doing so hot. a pound is worth over 2 dollars. A euro is worth over 1.5 dollars. Canada's dollar is worth something like 1.05 dollars. Our country just ain't doing to hot.

As John Oliver said, "For a world power nationg, the US is doing pretty terrible, but as a 3rd-world country, I can see you guys at least in the top five"

You mean, like, since Obama took office?

Well, we're less in debt now than we were before, I think.

I don't think so.

I know the euro is suffering since the collapse of the Greek economy. I guess the British economy might be doing somewhat more poorly than before?

That's true, but the difference isn't large. I used http://www.oanda.com/currency/historical-rates to look up the rates at the end of April, before Greece went down, and a Euro was $1.32390. So it's really only changed the rates by a dime.

Really? Interesting. Well maybe we're doing something right.
