I certainly didnt reason enough to guess if that's the case. Dollars are enough surplus to America I agree. 

I just placed it because I think America is a big and rich country and definitely should have extra goods to export. But it seems US people consume evrything they produce. 



Why would it be? We export dollars (which don't count for this) and import real stuff.

Why would you want your country exporting more than it imports?
