The Export‐​Import Bank is a federal agency that subsidizes the financing of U.S. exports. The Bank was created eight decades ago to facilitate trade, but the need for such a government agency has always been doubtful. Columnist Tim Carney explains why the arguments for keeping the bank don’t stand up to scrutiny.
