When the markets crashed and burned at the tail end of Bush II, Goldman Sachs and others got BIG multibillion $ bailouts at the expense of ordinary folks. They were deemed "too big to fail." I never got my bailout check. How about you?

NOTHING about this government can be called "free enterprise." The folks who want to shut down this FDR era agency are trying to turn this government back TOWARD free enterprise. I think you are confusing megacorporate "profits" gained by farming ordinary folks via the coercive power of government for as much $ as can be harvested which has NOTHING to do with "free enterprise."

Hopefully the abolition of the Ex-IM Bank will proceed as scheduled. I doubt it because the drunken Suntan Man will, in his capacity as the Tyrant of Capitol Hill, get out his US Chamber of Commerce/K Street/Wall Street kneepads and service all three simultaneously. The objects of his attention are relentlessly greedy pigs who, like Boehner, need to be firmly and finally punished. I should live so long as to see it.

No I am glad to hear you are for free markets. Many here aren’t. The alternative is gvmt picking winners and losers via tools such as ex-im and tariffs. If we don’t support something like ex-im we have to go whole hog free markets or turn to tariffs and tariffs are also corrupt for th same reason as ex-im.
