I'll try to use less facts next time.

And I'm not being obtuse. We make lots of loans. Every year.
And we support our domestic industries A LOT. But each one is funded through different mechanisms.

Now, if the SBA was making this loan, I might be on board with you. As for what you posted in the OP, not so much.

Why couldn't we make this so a US company can benefit for the research and grow? I agree with AZ, what the hell did we have this stimulous for cus so far it isn't doing a damn thing and now we are wasting more money. At least we know where this 2 Bil is going. We can not afford Brazil defualting. Why take the risk?

He's paying off George Soros:
Hot Air Blog Archive Good news: Obama backs off-shore drilling! Update: A Soros connection?

It's very interesting that drilling off shore in Brazil is good but not in the US.

HIGHLY hypocritical. I thought we needed cap and trade to save the planet? I guess that only applies if your major political funder isn't involved.

This was my original point.

As noted in my response earlier, we DO. But the particular agency that made the LOAN to Brazil doesn't do domestic loans. However, aside from the loan interest, it does help with negotiations in other areas. Again, this is a loan. I wouldn't be so quick to defend the $2B if it had been a grant.

And the risk of default is rather low. The Economy of Brazil is growing due to the natural resources available for export.

I would rather make a $2B LOAN to a foreign nation, than give multiple $$Billions to domestic companies that have run themselves into the ground.

All well and good, back to my original point how ever, this goes against the administrations energy policy and reasoning against off shore drilling. Why can't we drill off our shores?

Maybe if our domestic companies had access to our natural resources they, and we, would be better off as well?
