Yesterday, after the House voted to reauthorize the Export-Import Bank, I noted how the GOP’s anti-corporate-welfare minority is growing.
Notably, Democrats are dropping their opposition to Boeing’s Bank.
Not a single Democrat yesterday voted against reauthorizing Ex-Im, a federal agency that subsidizes Big Business, mostly Boeing, by guaranteeing loans made by banks — mostly big banks.
Yup, Democrats voted 183-to-0 for an agency that even Barack Obama described as “little more than corporate welfare.”
A bunch (pretty liberal) Dems who opposed Ex-Im’s reauthorization when Bush was President supported it this week. Democratic congressmen Rob Andrews, Tammy Baldwin, John Conyers, Peter DeFazio, Jesse Jackson Jr., Marcy Kaptur, Jim Matheson, Jerry Nadler, Frank Pallone, Collin Peterson, Pete Stark, and Maxine Waters were all Nays in 2002 and Yays yesterday.
This strikes me as another example of Obama’s corruption of the American Left.
