I thank the gentlewoman. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of reauthorizing the Ex-Im Bank. You have two types of people. You have practical people who care about real solutions for American workers and American businesses, and you have slaves to ideology. Practical people want the Ex-Im Bank reauthorized.

In this case, the Ex-Im Bank returns a profit to the American people and it reduces the deficit and the debt. We ought to reauthorize it.
