Friend of Biden? Get a Loan to Open Business - in Ukraine!

[CuteOldGuy]

Yes, if you are a friend of this administration, they will help you open a business. Even if the business is in Ukraine.

It's good to have friends who can loan you taxpayer money. To spend outside the US.

...as part of a policy that's been around since 1970.

Key parts:

"OPIC operates on a self‐sustaining basis at no net cost to American taxpayers. It generated net income of $269 million in Fiscal Year 2011,[1] helping to reduce the federal budget deficit for the 34th consecutive year.To date, OPIC has supported nearly $200 billion of investment in more than 4,000 projects, generated $75 billion in U.S. exports and supported more than 276,000 American jobs."

And

“The greatest contribution this nation can make to developing countries is through increased investment in their developing markets. Private investment by American companies continues to be the most effective way to transfer the financial resources, technology and management skills that play such a vital role in stimulating long-term and independent development. OPIC fulfills an important responsibility by encouraging greater involvement of American business in developing countries, in the process helping our own economy to expand as well.” —President Ronald Reagan in a letter to OPIC President Craig A. Nalen, October 15, 1981"

Amazing you didn't know about Romney having tea with a convicted drug trafficker.

You're kind of a one trick pony, aren't you, Doove? You still haven't resolved that beating you took as a child where the big boys stole your lunch, have you. Work on it, you'll feel better.

Then you might not have to feel like it is your duty to defend every stupid thing Obama or Biden does.

Pretty solid defense of your original post.

Sorry if i got in the way of your "fun".

My OP was unaffected by your post. A friend of Biden got a sweetheart deal from taxpayer money to open a business in Ukraine. If you're ok with that, fine.

Next.

Oh look, COG is once again outraged that the sausage factory has all the attributes of a sausage factory.
