Allen West Takes Aim at Export-Import Bank Reauthorization

Former U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., now the president and the CEO of the National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA), slammed  the U.S. Senate for reauthorizing the Export-Import Bank in a piece at Townhall.com published on Tuesday. 

“Instead of participating in a corrupt system where governments pick winners and losers, the United States should ditch the Export-Import Bank and lead the world to a better system of free trade, low taxes and minimal regulation,” West insisted. “Unfortunately, the Senate’s recent passage of the Export-Import Bank amendment signals that this probably isn’t going to happen anytime soon.”

West took aim at the Export-Import Bank in a piece at Townhall.com last month.
