HAMPTON, N.H. (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton says Republicans in Congress and GOP presidential hopefuls are threatening tens of thousands of small-business jobs by seeking to cut a little-known government agency that guarantees loans to help U.S. exporters.
The Democratic presidential contender said during a round-table discussion at Smuttynose Brewery in New Hampshire that Congress should renew financing for the Export-Import Bank. She argues the GOP is risking up to 164,000 jobs supported by the bank.
She says Republicans running in the 2016 campaign would rather threaten the jobs than “stand up to the tea party and talk radio.”
Conservatives have sought to eliminate the Export-Import Bank, arguing it gives the government too big a role in helping some large American companies sell products overseas at the expense of others.

"Smuttynose," really?
I just hope she ordered the right kind of beer. If not, that just may become the story that drowns everything else out for a week.
Mrs. C. is calling out the elephant in the room, illustrating the GOPer candidates as they really are–owned by and beholding to the lowest common denominators of conservatism: the open, flowing sewer of RW talk radio, and the open, flowing sewer of the Tea Party.
Careful, they’ll accuse you of a reverse sistah soldier?
