hmmm........
interesting article.
The majority of lawmakers believed strongly enough in the idea that they rejected efforts by a few colleagues to put tighter reins on businesses and restrict them to using the money for wages, employee pensions, capital improvements and research.
Lawmakers wrote a "purposely nebulous" law that would give businesses lots of flexibility to invest in the U.S. economy, said Greg Kelly, a Washington analyst at Susquehanna Financial Group.
No part of the law requires companies to show they have increased spending in the areas where they devote money brought in under the law. Repatriated money can displace dollars already spent on the approved uses, freeing up those funds for other purposes.
Atleast some positive news ?
The money cannot be used for executive compensation, shareholder dividends, stock buybacks, portfolio investments or tax payments.
Oh Please! Do you really track the money by the numbers on the curreny bill, ofcourse not?
nebulous = lacking definitive form or limits. - m
