Rabbi -
1) Which countries would you say are more like the US in terms of scale - Estonia and Israel, or Germany and France?
2) Would you say that for companies like Ford, Apple and Microsoft, overseas markets are important or unimportant?
btw, Next time you want to post that foreign trade is unimportant to the performance of the US economy as a whole, consider this:
Total U.S. international trade (exports + imports) set a new record of $4.76 trillion in 2011 (see chart above), as both annual exports ($2.1 trillion) and imports ($2.66 trillion) reached record high levels last year, according to today's BEA report.
