> Apple will hit up the debt markets for more dollars, it being cheaper to use other’s domestic cash than its foreign reserves

Can anyone explain why this is so? Because they are somehow getting a higher interest rate return on their reserves then they'd have to pay to borrow? (That would seem pretty impossible). Because they'd have to pay taxes if they use the foreign reserves? Something else?
