End the ExIm Bank

When there is a call to get rid of the harmful Ex-Im Bank, that is not enough.  There needs to be a trap door: when out never back.
Conservative senators, including Mike Lee (R., Utah) and Pat Toomey (R., Pa.), are going to oppose reauthorization this summer, and they’re already asking useful questions about the bank’s opaque accounting. Senator Lee is pushing for a debate within the GOP about crony capitalism more generally — he recognizes the corruption it represents within the party and our government. Of course, tearing down corporate privilege is far from a sufficient answer — or even a primary one — to the problems that plague America’s economy. To win the trust of American voters, the GOP needs more ideas on how to boost middle-class wages and restore economic growth and security. But winning that battle won’t be easy when Americans have an ample number of reasons to believe that Republicans favor big business over the working class. It’s time to end one of them.
And here is the best part... no sooner does national review editorialize on getting rid of Ex-Im bank than the Ex-Im bank lights up the PR Wires with Tales of Great Things.  None of which will stand scrutiny.

Time to eliminate the ExIm Bank, and once an agency is eliminated, enough with the "government service" of those who work there.  Let them find work in the real world, and like Lazarus, report back what a hell those who are working inside the state are creating for those who support the state.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
