As Reagan said, the nearest thing to eternal life is a government program. In this case, it, the Export-Import (ExIm) Bank is supposed to be dead, but its supporters don’t believe it.

Ted Cruz delivered an epic rant on the Senate floor this week about the flat out dishonesty of Mitch ‘Mulch’ McConnell, who, amongst other broken promises, had told members voting for the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) that there would be no attempt to attach posthumous re-authorization of the ExIm Bank to “must pass” legislation.

Well, here we are with “must pass” roads and bridges legislation, AKA the Highway Bill, and the dead clammy fingers of ExIm are clinging to its coattails in an attempt to crawl back amongst us.

Don’t know what’s more scary – programs that never die, or Establishment “leaders” that never listen to their base!
