Come, I will conceal nothing from you: the Export-Import Bank is squarely in the middle of things that I typically go rah-rah over out of a sense of solidarity with the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy. I can’t keep track of everything, after all*. But apparently this is making people sit up and blink:
House Majority Leader-elect Kevin McCarthy says Congress should let the Export-Import Bank expire, the biggest blow yet to the imperiled subsidy agency whose charter expires this fall.
On “Fox News Sunday,” host Chris Wallace asked McCarthy if he agrees with “conservatives who say that the Export-Import Bank is a form of crony capitalism and it should be put out of business — allowed to expire.”
I forget who said this first**, but fear really is a wonderful motivator.

Not following you there, Moe.
Me either.
Saw that this morning. But, as the saying goes, talk is cheap. We’ll see if he carries out the closing of ExIm.
We’ll see what he trades to keep ExIm open.

Ending some of the EPA’s foolish “boutique fuels” would, I think, be an acceptable trade.

You know, Senator Obama wanted to close the ExIm too. Whatever happened to that guy?
He won….
