Some background on the Ex-IM bank.
About Ex-Im Bank:Ex-Im Bank is an independent federal agency
that helps create and maintain U.S. jobs by filling gaps in private
export financing at no cost to American taxpayers. In the past five
years, Ex-Im Bank has earned for U.S. taxpayers $1.9 billion above the
cost of operations. The Bank provides a variety of financing mechanisms,
including working capital guarantees, export-credit insurance and
financing to help foreign buyers purchase U.S. goods and services.
Ex-Im Bank approved $32.7 billion in total authorizations in FY
2011 — an all-time Ex-Im record. This total includes more than $6
billion directly supporting small-business export sales — also an Ex-Im
record. Ex-Im Bank’s total authorizations are supporting an estimated
$41 billion in U.S. export sales and approximately 290,000 American jobs
in communities across the country. For more information, visit

Since the Export-Import Bank was founded in 1934, Congress has
methodically renewed its charter two-dozen times with little or no
controversy, attesting to the independent federal agency's low-key,
generally well-regarded mission of helping finance American companies'
overseas sales.
Now all the sudden in a time of high unemployment the GOP suddenly wants to put a halt to this and risk 290,000 AMERICAN jobs? GOP-led governments have already cost many teachers, firefighters, policemen and other federal workers thousands upon thousands of jobs and now they want to risk more private sector jobs as well?
Is the GOP truly country over party? Are they willing to sacrifice American Citizens livelihood to regain power in November? The talking point is Obama is responsible for high unemployment rate and bad economy...when the GOP pulls stunts like this exactly WHO is to blame?
