The Daily Quote
“Conservative groups have gone to the mat to try and eliminate the 80-year-old Export-Import Bank, an agency that they argue is the poster child for corporate control of government… 10 groups — led by NAM — kept the heat on House and Senate leaders for the multi-year reauthorization, arguing in a letter sent Thursday that the agency is vital to the ability of small businesses to compete in the global economy. In fact, small businesses accounted for nearly 90 percent of the bank’s transactions last year. ‘Delaying Ex-Im Bank reauthorization would hurt U.S. companies of every size and sector, threatening the export sales of thousands of U.S. manufacturers and other companies as well as the security of hundreds of thousands of American jobs that depend directly or indirectly on the Ex-Im Bank’s export financing,’ the letter said. They argue that are at least 60 other financing options foreign companies looking for export assistance and that losing Ex-Im would provide an advantage to many of the nation’s major competitors. ‘Failure to reauthorize Ex-Im would force U.S. exporters to forfeit opportunity in the face of other nations’ aggressive trade finance programs,’ the letter said.” - The Hill, 9/14/2014
