Problem
If you go to the BEA website and look at the Survey of Current Business for July 2010, the table on "U.S. International Transactions," you will find that in 2009, U.S. income receipts on its foreign assets were $585.2 billion (line 13), while the country's payments on liabilities to foreigners were $456.0 billion (line 30).
