Moving money over seas does NOT remove it from the economy, it just changes where its spent. It also still gets taxed here, in fact at a much higher tax rate than had it been left here because the USA has the highest tax reunification rate in the WORLD..
Today, the food stamps program is one of the largest and the fastest growing of the roughly 80 welfare programs funded by the federal government. Since 2000, spending has nearly quadrupled, with much of the growth taking place over the last four years. Since President Obama came to office, food stamps spending doubled from roughly $39 billion in 2008 to an estimated $85 billion in 2012.
And Repugnants run on:
"Let kids starve to death, that's OUR American ideal....we only care about kids BEFORE they're born so we can control women....we get off on that. The poor? Our christian Jesus, our christian principles say grind them into the ground"""
People don't need assistance? Maybe in the world of Paul Ryan's Ayn Rand.
What are you talking about? I'll repeat -- to put it more simply, the point is that there shouldn't be such a huge number of people needing this assistance right now, because we were promised things would be better, not worse.
Recently, while I was working in the flower beds in the front yard, my neighbors stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their dog. During our friendly conversation, I asked their little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, "If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?" She replied... "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people." Her parents beamed with pride! "Wow...what a worthy goal!" I said. "But you don't have to wait until you're President to do that!" I told her. "What do you mean?" she replied. So I told her, "You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and trim my hedge, and I'll pay you $50. Then you can go over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out and give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house." She thought that over for a few seconds...then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?" I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."
Cute story. Are you suggesting that the children who are hungry and without food should work for their food by going to your house and trimming your hedges, mowing your lawn, and pulling your weeds?

Romney's money err.. "investments" on the Cayman Islands was taxed by the US federal government?
Romney's money invested in the Cayman Islands created jobs in America?
Romney's money sent to the Cayman Islands helped to feed our children who go hungry day after day?

And they are getting better. Your problem is that your party put us into a deep financial hole and it's taking some time to climb out of it. Some cooperation from your side would have sped up this process considerably, but the right decided it was more important that this administration fail, so they have blocked and obstructed as much as possible to make that happen. As a result, it's a lot slower going to recovery than it needed to be.
Anyone who watched the GOP convention would think that the party was created a mere three years ago and wasn't even around when the financial crisis hit. They never, ever mention their own hand in its creation; pretending that the whole thing started in 2009, when President Obama took office. All innocence and goodness, this Republican party.
