America's main export is software. Apple alone makes way more money than all defense contractors combined.
Missiles and planes are expensive, but you can sell WAY less of those than phones and apps and burgers. (And the missiles and planes are subsidized by the government anyways since they're meant to maintain America's military supremacy and project power, not make money from foreign sales.)
- brutusurp 4y ago- Missiles and planes are not the only form of weapons/arms/defense trade. - Reported $$ and actual $$ are two different things. - No doubt software is an export, however software as malware/spyware is considered a defense weapon.
