“For eight years, I served on the Senate Armed Services Committee, and never once did I hear someone suggest that the best path to world peace was for the United States to shut down its military and unilaterally disarm. We all know how dangerous that would be, especially in today’s uncertain world. Yet that’s exactly what happened economically when Congress let the U.S. Export -Import Bank (Ex-Im Bank) expire last month… Congress can stop the damage by reauthorizing the Bank immediately. Each day they wait only further threatens American competitiveness and influence.” - Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), The Hill, 7/16/2015 |
