When the markets imploded in the Fall of 2008, most large US corporations:

1) Significantly cut unnecessary spending
2) Let go of unproductive and unnecessary personnel
3) Straightened out their balance sheets and moved to large cash surpluses.

Things the Federal Government should be doing.

Thanks for your clear insight. What many American Corporations have done since the fall of 2008, is to make investments in their stock a good investment and a safe haven compared to most of the world's stock markets.

The other "Safe Haven"in the eyes of foreign buyers, mainly Asian buyers with a lot of money, are homes/estates in good climate/desirable areas in America. They are ponying up and buying $ million plus homes/estates to live in or as investments.

Inspite of Obozo, Reid, Pelosi and the rest of the rat Congress and Holder's efforts to ruin America, most of the world's population still sees America as the best place to live in and to invest in, or both.
