Same old bullcrap from a brand new shovel....
Where can I find out whether my Republican senator voted to attach that amendment? I’m sure the Democrat one did.
It’s all a shell game.
DC Cartel doesn’t want to give up their kickbacks, er, donations/paybacks. How else do we think they’ve all become millionaires...just from serving in Congress?
Same with Planned Parenthood....there’s a reason they don’t want to defund that, as well. Midge McConnell has the blood of our innocent unborn on his hands...as do ALL others who voted to keep funding PP.
Scarecrow sMudge MaConnell may not have a brain or intestines but does have a greedy heart of lies.
what a surprise.
No difference in McConnell/Boehner and Reid/Pelosi.
John Cornyn services McConnell daily.
For more than 80 years, Ex-Im Bank has worked to ensure a level playing field for U.S. exporters in a competitive global marketplace, and filled the gaps when the private sector is unable or unwilling to finance U.S. exports. In FY 2014, Ex-Im supported 164,000 U.S. jobs through $20.5 billion in export finance authorizations.
Ex-Im operates under authority provided by Congress. Sixteen times, bipartisan majorities in Congress have reauthorized Ex-Im Bank. Since Ex-Im’s most recent reauthorization (the Export-Import Bank Reauthorization Act of 2012 (P.L. 112-122)(link is external), the Bank has implemented more than a dozen reforms. In addition, Ex-Im continues to work to meet its Congressional mandates and directives requiring support for small business, environmentally beneficial exports, minority- and woman-owned business exports, and exports to eligible markets in sub-Saharan Africa.
Ex-Im Bank operates at no cost to taxpayers. Ex-Im has been able to accomplish this because, like any bank, Ex-Im charges fees and interest on our loan guarantee, insurance, and direct loan programs, the result being that Ex-Im Bank does not rely on taxpayer resources to sustain operations. As a result, over the past two decades Ex-Im has generated approximately $7 billion in excess revenues for the U.S. Treasury to be used for deficit reduction—making it one of the few government agencies to actually generate a surplus for American taxpayers.
The Office of Congressional and Intergovernmental Affairs (OCIA) is the primary point of contact for Congress and state and local governments at Ex-Im. OCIA informs and educates elected officials and their staff on how Ex-Im Bank supports American jobs through financing exports of U.S. goods and services. In addition, OCIA responds to Congressional concerns, prepares Ex-Im officials for Congressional hearings, and helps elected officials to educate their constituents on Ex-Im financing tools through hosting local events.

Stupid and ignorant Senators due stupid things.
It is nothing more than a slush fund for political wheelers and dealers and adds greatly to the huge money pot circulating around WDC - get rid of it!!
