This scam involves allowing cover for foreigners who are granted US investment dollars. How does this create more jobs vs if the money was given to US citizens and legal residents who would start businesses and create jobs?

If you think about it logically, the net initial jobs created should be the same, but the net wealth that remains in the US will be greater with the removal of this policy.

Anything pushed through last minute by an administration should be suspect. If this was such an awesome idea, why did it take be so long to get started? If it was such an awesome idea why wasn't it published and spoken about more? Why weren't Americans given time to consider it and provide feedback?

When you look at it, it seems like a backdoor way for rich people to toss some cash to friends from outside the country and allow them to remain in the US.

This is the part where your progressive default response is "You're such a racist!"

Your comment has so many incorrect points that I'm not sure where to begin. But the fact that MS didn't start as an OS company is probably the biggest. MS started as a developer tools and language provider for various hardware. Google or BING "Altair Basic".

Your problem isn't what you don't know, the problem is how much you know ... that isn't so.

An honest question, why does Google drop bugs about MS at or before 90 days, while giving Apple 1+ year to fix bugs in past. I'm arguing what position Google should take, but rather suggesting Google be uniform in the standard they apply to everyone. Whatever they do regarding OS X, iOS or the Linux kernel should be the same way they treat Windows and vis versa.

I don't want government regulating guns at all. I don't want government regulation on business or wages or environment or healthcare. I want don't want federal income taxes, let's get rid of that amendment. I think electoral college protects minority interests, whereas popular vote BS would be mob rule. I only want federal government to secure borders (put military there instead of Irag or Germany) and deliver mail. I'm a libertarian.

So do you consider the World Series Champions based on who wins 4 games or who scores more runs in the series? Because that is pretty much your argument in this election. You are trying to justify the outcome you prefer using different rules than those accepted when the season started.

His activities did more to help US citizens than an single figure in the last two decades.

It's critically important for citizens to know when their government is violating the contract that makes them a nation.

Because of his actions several unConstitutional programs were suspended or scaled back. And the government had to acknowledge they lied you the governed. It also has to acknowledge it lied to other countries.

The reason he is in another country is because, when you have evidence your government is breaking the law, it is illogical to assume you can get a fair hearing under the law.

Snowden never intended to stay in Russia, he was going to Equador when our government revoked his passport. The reason he had to go through countries that aren't exactly friendly with US is because he had to go through countries that wouldn't extradite him.
