Ex-Im Bank battle tests bipartisan norms in 81st year
The Export-Import Bank, 81 years old, faces a renewed fight as renewal nears. A Tea Party Koch-backed push opposes the bank, pressuring House leaders to block a vote. Proponents cite $27.4 billion in exports and 164,000 jobs last year, with 3,340 small businesses aided and a $675 million Treasury return. Supporters argue the bank fills a market gap others avoid, noting China's subsidies abroad and small firms relying on guarantees like Bassett's Ice Cream. The dispute reflects broader issues of ideology versus facts in economic policy and district politics shaping the outcome.
