...Gingrich era may be over, but there will always be a market for bromides, like Covey's counsel to "seek first to understand." Newt is undoubtedly trying to do just that. FRANK O'MEARA Behoust, France...
Including the Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im) as an example of "corporate welfare" is a mistake. Ex-Im provides market-rate loans--not grants--to help any exporting company, regardless of size, sell abroad. The $5 billion Congress appropriated to Ex-Im over the past six years has been repaid or is in the process of being repaid! Also, there are 77 other foreign-government export-credit agencies already helping their local companies seize export opportunities from American workers. If there were no Ex-Im, most likely Europe's Airbus would win many, if not all, of the foreign aircraft...

"Companies who want to work with us are interested in a lot more than us promoting the site," says Case. "They want us to help build the service." It's another smart plan, but executing this one will mean battling not upstarts...
