it impacts olney, texas. >> normally the exim bank is seen as a washington success story. last year the bank helped finance almost $33 billion in exports and returned a profit to taxpayers. why the controversy? that boils down to boeing versus delta. for a decade, the exim bank has helped boeing sell hundreds of planes at favorable lending rates to foreign airlines that compete with delta. the cost advantage, delta claim, helped those foreign carriers win more passengers and caused the loss of up to 7,500 u.s. jobs. six republican senators, including tom coburn of oklahoma, say the exim bank is bound by law to study the harm it does to other u.s. employers. >> this bill isn't going to move until we have some teeth that requires export-import bank to do what the law says, and they have flouted it, ignored it and don't care. >> exim officials deny any harm to dealta. they point out if foreign airlines didn't buy from boeing, they would have bought planes in europe. >> if it's bought by airbus instead of boeing, they may go that way for next ten years. that's the real risk. >
