Excuse me for interrupting a good rant and scapegoating session, but US
exports in goods and services to Europe currently are running $11 billion
per month and rising.

Please carry on with your rant. d8-)

Of course the US is exporting large amounts to Europe. It's what you low
wage
foreign economy chappies are for, don't y'know?

Whoops, wrong number. That was our net trade deficit. g Monthly exports to
EU, July 2008: $24 billion. Monthly imports from EU, July 2008: $35 billion.

We must be trading with the low-wage chappies in the EU. g
