Perfect exapmle. We send money to Bazil to drill offshore there then we buy it from them. HUH? What kind of logic is that to anyone except an environmentalist?

Which is total bullsh**, just more examples of conservative lies. The US Export-Import Bank provided financing to Brazil to purchase US MADE drilling equipment which created more jobs in the US for US workers. The Export-Import bank does not receive taxpayer funding but actually turns a profit as well as creating JOBS in the US.

Why do you hate jobs in the US so much?

Nice try. How much of that oil do we get to export and get paid for? Or are we having to pay for importing it again with higher costs to all Americans?

So you are saying that the Bank should not finance US built products for foreign export? Your original statement was a flat out lie, so I am trying to understand why your panties are in such a twist. The US has not financed any drilling by Brazil. The Export-Import bank did finance the purchase of US built products which created US jobs, and for which the bank received considerable interest and profits. Is that such a bad thing? Or are you implying that we should refuse to export goods to foreign countries and kill off even more jobs in the US? I just don't understand your objection to the sale of US built goods to foreign countries. It seems to me that the more products we can sell, the more jobs that can be created here in the US which can only help the economy. Again, why do you hate jobs in the US?

OK, you know that is just a stupid question. SO who does the oil belong to where they are drilling? And who gets to sell it?

Since they are drilling off their coastal territories, with equipment that they own, with workers they are paying, it would be logical that they own it and they may consume it or sell it as they see fit. Why do you maintain that the US should own that oil, when we do not own the rights to it, and do not pay for drilling it? Or are you pushing a socialist regime that the US should get a share of everything produced by others?

OMG are you really being serious or trying to act naive? I will spell it out for you!! Instead of having our workers go THERE to build a rig and then leave and leave all the future profits for the oil with them which is hundreds more times that what our workers made. Why not build and drill offshore here and then when the job is done we ALSO get to reap the rewards of the oil profits!

Let's use an example. You have $1 billion dollars. You can hire American workers and build something for another country. That is great, worker had work for a short period of time. Now what? OR you have $1 billion dollars and can build the same item in this country. Still employ the same workers. BUT this item you built can return $100 billion for whoever owns it to build more and employ thousands of more workers. Which is the smarter business plan? And it this was your money how would you invest it? Which way?

OUR workers did not go there, they built the equipment in the US. We, the taxpayers, did not finance Brazil in their drilling which is what you claimed in your post. Instead the Export-Import Bank provided financing to allow Brazil to purchase the equipment BUILT in the US by US Workers. What Brazil does with this equipment is their business. ONCE AGAIN, no taxpayers dollars went into drilling by Brazil. The equipment was BUILT IN THE US. WHY ARE YOU AGAINST FOREIGN TRADE?

If we are building it, why aren't we using it to make 100 times more money using it?

That's a question the Chinese ask every time they make an iPod.
