Freedom Partners, a group funded by Charles and David Koch, released an advertisement Wednesday applauding Sen. Bernie Sanders for his opposition to the Export-Import Bank.
During Sunday’s Democratic debate, Sanders and Hillary Clinton spared over the Ex-Im Bank, the government agency gives loans to businesses wishing to export goods. Clinton praised it for bringing manufacturing jobs to the Michigan area, however the Vermont senator criticized it for being “corporate welfare.”
“I don’t think it’s a great idea for the American taxpayer to have to subsidize through corporate welfare profitable corporations who downsize in the United States of America,” said Sanders.
The Koch brothers agree.
