but it is worth highlighting some of the so-called reforms that ex-im supporters included in the billthere's the new office of ethics created within the expo export-import bank. presumably this is supposed to help the bank's management reduce the rate at which ex-im employees and beneficiaries are indicted for fraud, bribery and other wrongdoing. since 2009, there have been 85 such indictments, or about 14 per year. the bill also creates a new position called the chief risk officer and requires the bank to go through an independent audit of its portfolio. only in washington, mr. president, will you find people who believe that an organization's systemic ethical failings can somehow be overcome by creating a new ethics bureaucracy. or that hiring a new risk management bureaucrat is a suitable replacement for market discipline. or that giving another multimillion-dollar contract to a well-connected accounting firm will somehow substitute for real actual political accountability. none of these bogus reforms will make an ounce of difference. none of them will change the essential purpose
