I thought when we voted Lugar out of office he would go away. The old ways of doing things will ruin us if we can't find our way to higher ground. These foreign interests are not so important to us that we can afford to throw unlimited money at them. I say close the bank. And lets talk about pulling out of most of our foreign aid commitments. We need to work on America, not meddle in every country on the planet with black ops money. But then I'm for cleaning up our own backyard too. No more TIF zones. No more Indianapolis bond bank. No more Capital Improvements Board. No more money to sports teams owners. And fire every single employee of Metropolitan Development and bolt those doors shut. These are common sense moves for people who would like to get our budgets back under control.

You're correct. There's no distinction between NWO and crony capitalism. It's all about those who believe it's the role of government to decide who wins and loses. I would gladly go into any casino in America and gamble with my money if I got to determine the odds of my winning. It's not going to happen. Yeah, some American businesses and workers benefit from the Export-Import Bank, but most are actually harmed by its work. Someone in Washington has decided that Cummins and certain other chosen businesses deserve preferential treatment over everyone else.

No big surprise The Indianapolis Star would promote just one more Crony-Capitalist Scheme and find some "Expert" to provide all the smoke and mirrors.

We had a similar Song and Dance Routine when Clinton-Gore and their Republican and Democrat allies promoted NAFTA. The Mega-Media did their part by flooding the airwaves and newspapers with Pro-NAFTA selling points.

The Bottom Line is you can call it the New World Order, Crony-Capitalism (Sasquatch or Bigfoot) it is the same thing. The only principle that guides it is profit for the 1%.
