It's never lost a dime and in facts runs a profit, although as they say in the industry: past performance is no guarantee of future results. But FWIW the ExIm bank has been running a surplus since 1934.

So what about the 3 Billion in long term losses it had to reveal back in '87? Additionally, per the CBO, the ExIm will cost taxpayers about 2 billion over the next decade.

The simple fact is the US taxpayer need to stop subsidizing big business. (ironically, this is something occupiers and tea partiers agree on).

What makes you think that this will not happen with private citizens medical info?

You might want to look at all the bills that Reid has stopped in the Senate first. And the reason why the filibuster is being threatened so much is thats the only tool the Reps have. Reid has prevented the Reps from submitting any changes/addendums to bills. In other words, you have bought the Dem party line...hook, line and sinker.
