I don’t think the government should be subsidizing anything in the private sector. Anything.
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.
