“A measure extending the bank through 2019 was included in a massive transportation bill that cleared the House and Senate Thursday and is expected to be signed by President Barack Obama. The small federal agency makes and guarantees loans to help foreign customers buy U.S. exports. Business groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce say it’s necessary for U.S. competitiveness, since most overseas competitors rely on similar government help. But conservatives decry the bank as corporate welfare and government interference in the free market. A rarely used procedure in the House forced a floor vote on the bank over the objections of top GOP leaders.”
