I never understood why when people cheered on the pursuit of US money in foreign banks why they never understood the big picture. The US government regardless of party is only looking after one thing, itself. While you may have talking heads sent out to decry abuse of the system they are their to misdirect. Politics wants money and not for the public coffers. While they will bleat all day how this money in foreign institutions is depriving the people and theft what they really want is control over the people who have the money so they give it to those they want it given too, themselves. It is the same when corporations sell themselves over seas, the influence factor is  lost and in turn the ability to extort campaign funds
