Title: Export-Import Bank
Post by: Gaspar on May 30, 2012, 04:18:53 PM
Obama signed the re-authorization of the Export-Import Bank today which he says is "little more than a fund for corporate welfare" and promised to eliminate in 2008.  What? Huh?

The bill offers $1 billion in subsidies for corporate jet "fat cats" as the president calls them.  What? Huh?

Text of the legislation:
