Liberals love subsidizing Boeing?

It’s one things when liberals support corporate welfare in the form of green-energy grants — that’s the norm. But who would have thought the progressives at The Nation would line up behind a corporate welfare agency that dedicates a majority of its subsidies to helping Boeing sell its jets?

Sure enough, The Nation’s George Zornick, who otherwise spends his column inches knocking “1 Percenters,” “Wall Street Favorite” Republicans, Goldman Sachs, “Corporate Election Donors,” and the like, has a blog post not only defending the Export-Import Bank but painting its opponents as extreme.
