And when asked today by a reporter if Republicans will reauthorize the Bank in July, Speaker Boehner replied:

I haveno idea.  [6/24/15]

In other words, Speaker Boehner has "no idea" if he will stand up for the thousands of American jobs the Bank has sustained in the last year alone; Speaker Boehner has "no idea" if he'll protect small businesses from across the country, including those in his district

Mr. Speaker – instead of having "no idea" whether our country will withdraw from global competitiveness, join Democrats to renew the Bank now!
