TWENTY BILLION in Tax Cuts invested in FRANCE
That's right. * says that tax cuts stimulate investment.

The thing he didn't tell us was that it was in FRANCE, LUXUMBOURG and the NETHERLANDS

US Direct Investment Abroad (Millions):

Country         2000     2004     Change
France              38,752     58,927     +20,175
Luxumbourg       25,571     74,902     +49,331
Netherlands     117,557     201,918     +84,361(!!)

4. It's from the 2006 World Almanac.. (article reference within)
Ahh, if it's not on the web, it doesn't exist! So much has changed in 10 years! I remember getting into a word definition argument with someone who didn't acknowledge an 'online' dictionary!

But here's the reference (a quick google did NOT produce the same chart - maybe you have better luck?):

The World Almanac and Book of Facts, St. Martin's Press
http://www.worldalmanac.com (website doesn't contain the information)
Page 112 of 2006 printed edition.
US Direct Investment Abroad in Selected Countries and Territories
SOURCE: Bureau of Economic Analysis, US Dept of Commerce.

Here's a PDF with a lot of the similar information:

2. We thought he was promoting 'Freedom Fries' ...
... when what he was REALLY saying was 'Freedom Flies ..."

6. That money doesn't go without strings attached.
I wonder what the quid pro quo is. France's recent nuclear saber-rattling comes to mind.
