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.

Boeing gave to Clinton causes after Hillary steered its Russian contract

Boeing gave heavily to the Clinton Foundation after Hillary Clinton helped it secure a major deal with a Russian airline in 2009, author Pete Schweizer noted in his book, Clinton Cash.

The company was also involved in funding one of Clinton's pet projects at the State Department after the agency reportedly brushed aside ethical guidelines to secure a $2 million contribution.

Schweizer notes a $900,000 donation from Boeing to the Clinton Foundation came on the heels of a multibillion dollar contract between the Russian government and the aerospace behemoth.

Boeing Shareholder Challenges Ethics of Company’s Relationship to Clintons

As secretary of state, Clinton had a beneficial relationship with Boeing. In 2009, she openly made “a shameless pitch” to a Russian airline to purchase Boeing aircrafts, leading to an eventual $3.7 billion deal for Boeing. Two months after the deal, the Clinton Foundation received a $900,000 donation from Boeing. Two years later, Boeing also paid Bill Clinton $250,000 to deliver a speech.

The chief lobbyist for Boeing, former Bill Clinton aide Tim Keating, also held a major fundraiser for Ready for Hillary Super PAC in 2014.

Off-shoring is caused by over-regulation and over-taxation, more regulations and taxes won’t help.

I oppose subsidizing business in any form, I also oppose over-regulation and stupid restrictions on some companies in favor of others.

If the bank is that profitable, then totally privatize it
