great geyser of cronyism

Veronique de Rugy explains why that great geyser of cronyism, the U.S. Export-Import Bank, should be abolished.  Here’s Vero’s marvelous opening paragraph:

Politicians are hoarders. Instead of filling up their homes with junk and refusing to throw any of it away, they surround themselves with bloated government programs and come up with excuses to not get rid of any of them. Proposing “reform” is one of their favorite tactics to save rotting government programs that should be set out by the curb.
