Rand Paul: “first, we borrow billions of dollars from China, India, and Saudi Arabia. Then we loan it back to them again.…”

“first, we borrow billions of dollars from China, India, and Saudi Arabia. Then we loan it back to them again. Republicans rightly complain that we are sending taxpayer money to the President's major donors at Solyndra and BrightSource. Now Republicans need to be consistent and say we are not going to send Ex- Im loans to even bigger companies that are even more profitable. If it is wrong for the government to choose winners and send our money to corporations, we should say it is wrong and we should vote against this. Does anybody remember the President threatening to increase taxes on corporate jets? Ex-Im Banks are now going to increase the loans for corporate jets tenfold. My amendment will stop this charade. My amendment will stop sending taxpayer dollars overseas to countries from whom we already are borrowing money. It makes no sense, and the time is now to stop it. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator's time has expired. The Senator from Washington.”
