US Services totalled $561 billion in 2008... private services (which
include financial services) at around $241 billion USD. Royalties and
license fees are $91.1 billion (whoa! no wonder the SOPA folks are so
excited. that's big money)

Capital goods were our biggest goods exports, at $469 bilion USD. So I was
wrong, sorry about that!

This is from 2008... wonder how much has changed?

I'm confused why a chart of US exports would not include our services. we
are a service economy right now despite all the uptick in manufacturing.
