Boner will sneak in a vote at 11:59 on Wednesday night.
This is all kabuki.
possibly.....
The 'game' is played so that both Democrats and New Democrats (Republicans) get increasing taxes, less freedoms for us, and a swelling state.
Screw the game. Cruz was right, and right in line, and represents ME.
It's what I just posted to another thread, the Left's strategy of governing by manufactured crisis, versus Republican's tendency towards appeasement.
I do hope the House can stop McConnell's tree-filled bill for now so Cruz and Paul can get another crack at it, but I can't understand why the House would want to undermine McConnell like this.

Things that make you go, HMMMMMMM
But the Senate Street Walkers had a deal?! :O
” $7 billion in profits “
I was wondering about this since I don’t know how the bank operates.
Do you happen to know the current spread on rates? Since U.S. is already borrowing to cover its expenses, I was wondering what the difference between the current tbill rate and the rate at which this bank grants loans.
President Ronald Reagan, January 30, 1984: "Exports create and sustain jobs for millions of American workers and contribute to the growth and strength of the United States economy. The Export-Import Bank contributes in a significant way to our nation's export sales."

Why does Boeing need to get help from the gov’t?
So you think government should only be involved in profit-killing ventures and subsidizing imports?
We do that you know. We charge tariffs on imports much lower than the taxes our domestic producers pay.
If the Export-Import bank is profitable, then it should be spun off as a private entity.
I don’t think the government should be subsidizing anything in the private sector. Anything.
Cantor would have teed up reauthorization of the Ex-Im Bank in record time. I can’t believe these guys in the House weren’t bought off by the Chamber of Corruption like the Senate was.
It's only Monday afternoon.
The House adjourns on Thursday.
That is an eternity from now.
The House will probably vote on the Senate Bill very late Wed. note or early Thurs. morning.
Stay tuned for more Kabuki Theater.
So, in other words, it's a bill for raising revenue.
The most important question is......Why are spending bills being crafted in the Senate?????!!!!
Our congressmen seem to amass significant amounts of Chinese stock. It wouldn't surprise me if this attempt to kill the bank isn't directly funded by China. They are trying to compete against Boeing. Because aircraft is one of those industries that they haven't yet challenged us on.
Why should Boeing get a gov’t subsidy? Simple question.
When our government quits subsidizing off-shoring and undoes the damage they’ve done including restoring the founding father’s import tariffs, then maybe we can talk about whether the Export bank is still needed.
Until then our exporters need all the help they can get. And if the Bank can help them while returning excess cash to the treasury then killing them is the last thing we need to do.
