“Cantor’s defeat rocked shares of Boeing. The aircraft manufacturer is down 4% since Cantor’s loss, and continues to sink lower. Why Boeing? That’s where this tale of crony capitalism gets interesting. Cantor was the #1 congressional supporter of the Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im), a little-known federal agency whose ostensible purpose is to encourage US exports. Ex-Im makes or guarantees loans to foreign companies, which use those loans to purchase US products. Without Cantor’s support, Congress may pull the plug on Ex-Im. That would be good news for taxpayers and the airline industry, but terrible for Boeing.”
