>Offshore.

First, what tiny fraction of US money goes offshore versus for US investment? Ridiculously tiny. The total value of US investments dwarfs any offshore boogeyman.

And, offshore isn't a dead end. It invests where it's worthwhile, which, again, is incredibly US based - look at our bond rates and market caps.

>that investing is good

What allows new companies, large and small, to form and employ? What allows small companies to make payroll during slow seasons? What allows people to get college loans, mortgages to help build wealth, people to get loans for things that allow them to create and plan? What allows farmers to farm all year and only sell in a small window?

Oh yeah, investment.
