Parisa Salehi, Export-Import Bank's Inspector General, was the kind of internal watchdog who had earned a strong reputation for digging up fraud, waste and abuse during her 15 years in government service. She had risen through the ranks at inspectors general offices at the State Department and U.S.A.I.D., eventually taking over internal investigations at the Export-Import Bank of the United States, where her office reported saving tens of millions of dollars.
But last week, she got a notice that President Trump had fired her, effective immediately. The reason she was given? A vague line about the administration’s changing priorities, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Back in her office, “I [Sharma] said, Hey, we can get credit insurance for exporting, so you know what? Next time let's tell them to buy $15,000 worth instead of $5,000 because we're going to give them insurance. And that was a game changer for us.” That’s why she said, “EXIM has been a very important part of our export journey,” and advocates for them, including testifying on behalf of EXIM in Congress.

Beginning today [12/4/15], EXIM will be able to restart the work needed to meet its mission of supporting American jobs and equipping American businesses with the tools necessary to compete for global sales. Importantly, the Bank secured a long-term reauthorization that will be in effect until September 30, 2019.

The Bank's sole mission is to support American jobs by increasing our exports. That's it. It helps small businesses go global. It helps American entrepreneurs take that next step. Plus, it costs the taxpayers nothing – all its money comes from its own operations. In fact, it actually generates money for the taxpayer. That's how cost-effective it is.Read more: Going grassroots: Obama asks people in Alabama to push delegation for Ex-Im Bank vote

It is clear that helping American businesses compete and sell more goods and services abroad should not be up for debate. Reaching the 95 percent of consumers living outside U.S. borders is vitally important for jobs creation in the United States.Do we want to give the world an upper hand? The White House has urged Congress to reauthorize EXIM. American exports, especially from small businesses, need a leg up to compete in the global marketplace.

The legislation would reauthorize the bank, whose charter was set to expire at the end of May, through September 2014 and raise the bank's lending cap from $100 billion to $140 billion to provide credit and loan guarantees to support the purchase of U.S. exports abroad.Learn more here.

But this overseas business and these new jobs could disappear if Congress fails to reauthorize the Ex-Im Bank before it expires at the end of May, ending the financing that makes these exports possible.Learn more here.
