The biggest Ex-Im Bank assistance goes to defense contractor---Boeing----which enjoys a whopping 40 percent of the entire Ex-Im’s assistance! Does Boeing really need corporate welfare? Massive corruption and fraud usually accompany such humongous federal outlays.

SURPRISE---GUESS WHO ELSE WAS POCKETING BIG-TIME FROM BOEING DEALS?
Clinton Foundation Donors Got Lucrative Weapons Deals From Hillary's State Dept

Even by the standards of arms deals between the United States and Saudi Arabia, this one was enormous. A consortium of American defense contractors led by Boeing would deliver $29 BILLION worth of advanced fighter jets to the United States' oil-rich ally in the Middle East.

Under then Sec-of State Clinton, the State Department approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations whose governments have given money to the Clinton Foundation, according to an IBTimes analysis of State Department and foundation data.

That figure -- derived from the three full fiscal years of Clinton’s term as Secretary of State (from October 2010 to September 2012) -- represented nearly double the value of American arms sales made to the those countries and approved by the State Department during the same period of President George W. Bush’s second term.

American defense contractors also donated to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state and in some cases made personal payments to Bill Clinton for speaking engagements.

Such firms and their subsidiaries were listed as contractors in $163 billion worth of Pentagon-negotiated deals that were authorized by the Clinton State Department between 2009 and 2012. (Excerpt) Read more at ibtimes.com ...

The Export-Import Bank charter will expire in a few days, on June 30, unless Congress acts to reauthorize it.

As they surely will, just as with the pending sellout on TPP, TPA, etc.

Kabuki Theatre redux. I'm trying not to be so cynical, but based on past experience, my expectation is that our political prostitutes will follow the money.
