"It's my understanding that EKV was never meant to be the permanent kill vehicle for the GMD."

"I think that there is no other game in town right now, that we need the Export-Import Bank, but we need it to be accountable to the taxpayers."

"There is simply no good reason to oppose the reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank."

"As our economy continues to struggle, it is important that Ex-Im have the financial resources it needs to ensure that American exporters can compete in overseas markets."
