And not just any Republican, it is the new House Majority Leader.
Kevin McCarthy: Allow Export-Import Bank to close - Doug Palmer - POLITICO.com
I wonder how many Democrats will join him.
New House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said on Sunday he favors closing down the U.S. Export-Import Bank when its charter expires in September because the government does not need to be involved in financing exports.
I think Ex-Im Bank is something government does not have to be involved in. The private sector can do it, McCarthy (R-Calif.) said in an interview on Fox News Sunday.
One of the biggest problems with government is they go and take hard-earned money so others do things that the private sector can do. Thats what the Ex-Im Bank does, McCarthy said.
The newly elected majority leaders comments are the latest sign that the Depression-era Ex-Im Bank could be headed for extinction when its current charter expires on Sept. 30.
