American investors and the CEOs of major corporations are pulling money back from overseas, bringing American cash back to American shores at what economists are saying is the biggest pullback on record.

According to Fox Business, more than $300 billion in foreign investments has been "repatriated" in just the first quarter of 2018, largely because CEOs and other business bigwigs are taking advantage of a Republican tax reform measure that passed last December with the support of President Donald Trump.

There are a few notable exceptions -- Harley Davidson, for example, announced Monday that they would be moving factories overseas to avoid new steel tariffs -- but many corporations are repatriating their investments -- and their manufacturing -- despite the Trump Administration's strong line on "fair trade."


But the smartest president we’ve ever had, Barack Obama, said manufacturing was never coming back. So did the really smart people in the media. Obama wouldn't have been wrong, would he?

What I don't get is that you posted an article about how the buybacks are bad, and defended that article through several pages.
