The Export-Import Boondoggle

By admin on May 9, 2012

House Chamber, Washington, D.C. May 9, 2012

Mr. Speaker:

The Export-Import Bank dragoons American taxpayers into subsidizing loans to foreign companies, making it cheaper for them to buy products from politically-favored American companies which in turn use those products to compete against less-favored American companies.

Past beneficiaries include such upstanding enterprises as Solyndra and Enron. Since 2007, almost half of its money has gone to support that plucky little start-up called Boeing. Air India got $5 billion to purchase Boeing aircraft allowing them to undercut American carriers like Delta with their own tax money.

CISPA Cybersecurity Bill - A Truly Orwellian Measure

By Staff on April 27, 2012

Speech Made from House Floor on April 27, 2012

Mr. Speaker:

Under the Fourth Amendment, if the Government wants to snoop through a person's email, it must first convince a judge that there is probable cause to believe that person has committed a crime and it must specify the documents it believes are relevant to that charge.

Yesterday the House passed a measure that makes a mockery of this cherished protection.

Under the guise of cyber-security it allows the government to pressure and cajole Internet providers to turn over their subscribers' data and for the government then to use that data -without the consent or even knowledge of the individuals affected - for a wide variety of vague purposes unrelated to cyber-security - all without warrant.
