And not just any Republican, it is the new House Majority Leader.

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. That’s what the Ex-Im Bank does,” McCarthy said.
The newly elected majority leader’s 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.

I wonder how many Democrats will join him.
