It makes for good theater now but in the end they will give it new life.

The biggest Ex-Im Bank assistance goes to defense contractor---Boeing----which enjoys a whopping 40 percent of the entire Ex-Im’s assistance! Does Boeing really need corporate welfare? Massive corruption and fraud usually accompany such humongous federal outlays.

SURPRISE---GUESS WHO ELSE WAS POCKETING BIG-TIME FROM BOEING DEALS?

Clinton Foundation Donors Got Lucrative Weapons Deals From Hillary's State Dept
International Business Times ^ | May 26, 2015 | By David Sirota / FR Posted by Oldeconomybuyer

Even by the standards of arms deals between the United States and Saudi Arabia, this one was enormous. A consortium of American defense contractors led by Boeing would deliver $29 BILLION worth of advanced fighter jets to the United States' oil-rich ally in the Middle East.

Under then Sec-of State Clinton, the State Department approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations whose governments have given money to the Clinton Foundation, according to an IBTimes analysis of State Department and foundation data.

That figure -- derived from the three full fiscal years of Clinton’s term as Secretary of State (from October 2010 to September 2012) -- represented nearly double the value of American arms sales made to the those countries and approved by the State Department during the same period of President George W. Bush’s second term.

American defense contractors also donated to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state and in some cases made personal payments to Bill Clinton for speaking engagements.

Such firms and their subsidiaries were listed as contractors in $163 billion worth of Pentagon-negotiated deals that were authorized by the Clinton State Department between 2009 and 2012. (Excerpt) Read more at ibtimes.com ...

The Chamber of Crony Fascism wants it so it will be renewed. Corporations do not want to compete anymore if the government can destroy the competition or subsidize their profits.

The Chamber of Crony Fascism is just as addicted to taxpayer dollars as the welfare queens of the inner cities. There is no difference except for the dollar amounts and locations.
