Apparently they feel that money given to rich people to send jobs abroad IS being spent on Americans. The Americans who count, that is. The wealthy. ∠°)

The answer lies in the notion of wealth redistribution.
The big problem is that the Obama minions who bought into the wealth redistribution hoax thought that his plan to take from the rich and give to the poor was intended only here in America. Little did they realize that his true intent was to do so on a global basis.
Obama and the UN look at at the wealth of the United States as a whole, with no division between the rich and the poor. Their ultimate goal is to take from the "rich" nations and give to the "poor" nations. And, it is inevitable that the little wealth of the poor and the middle class in this country will eventually be lowered to a world wide average. We see this happening with each passing day. Look at the amount of US "wealth" which has being redistributed to China and India, today, through both trade deficits and job transfer. Those are actually US dollars that we are borrowing back from China. We sent them there through trade agreements.
Practically every American adult falls among the top 50% of the worlds richest people, and the greatest majority fall within the top 10%. Quite a few are among the richest 1% of the world population.
The most comprehensive study of personal wealth ever undertaken reports that the richest 1% of adults alone owned 40% of global assets in the year 2000, and that the richest 10% of adults accounted for 85% of the world total. In contrast, the bottom half of the world adult population owned barely 1% of global wealth.
The research finds that assets of $2,200 per adult placed a household in the top half of the world wealth distribution in the year 2000. To be among the richest 10% of adults in the world required $61,000 in assets, and more than $500,000 was needed to belong to the richest 1%, a group which — with 37 million members worldwide — is far from an exclusive club.

When we add the word "natural" as a modifier to the word "person" in the Constitution. That will get the money corruption out of our government.
Until then, our politicians on both sides of the aisle will serve those who can give them the biggest campaign contributions.

I agree especially when we have bonds out that is costing us more money because of the interest. But they don't care because it doesn't effect their wallets. Who wouldn't want a job that pays about 100k or more to discuss laws, regulations and many other things that effect millions and millions of people.

I thought spending money on Americans was evil socialism? Health care = slavery and death panels? "Welfare queens"? Hasn't that been your spiel for the last 30 years?
