Tea Party Divided by Export-Import Bank
“At the end of the meeting, there were a lot of angry Texans there,” said Mr. Schubert, who identifies himself as a Tea Party Republican. “We didn’t come there to talk the talking points. We were there to talk the complexities of international trade.”
Well, there's your first mistake. Complexities isn't something that the people YOU helped elect do. Their minds are very simple. Stomp your feet. Shout about the government. Act like an adolescent.
I feel no sympathy for these businessmen. What did they think was going to happen?

The EXIM bank is a relic - it is the buggy whip maker of modern trade finance, save that it isn't governed by profit/loss but by political favoritism.
How badly skewed (to corporate giants) has it been? Enough that when their data was being used to criticize them they pulled it off the web... to "reformat" it.
How odd that conservatives should be trying to abolish this bit of corporate welfare and St Lizzie and the proggie brigade rising to its defense.
