Kudos for explicitly mentioning the Export/Import Bank. While exim is not huge by federal budget standards, it is highly symbolic of the problem being an organization whose sole purpose is corporate welfare.
In years when ExxonMobil has racked up record profits, they have still lined up at ExIm for the corporate dole. Let’s remember that these folks exist … and shut them down.

One thing I did not see on this list is the military expenditure for protecting oil fields and escorting each and every oil tanker out of the Persian Gulf. This may be necessary. But, let’s bill the oil companies for the service.
