If we go away back the argument was that the US has no real exports. You've been arguing that phones are an export, but you admit those are built by other countries. It seems fair that the country that makes a phone and then exports it would be given credit for that in the statistics.

I'm not sure what the point of this thread is anymore, so I'll stop here.

So it is immaterial to you that Foxconn gets about $5 per iPhone sold and Apple get about $500?
