The 'Amero': What of sovereignty?
Will Americans trade their dead presidents for Ameros?
The Amero -- replacing the American and Canadian dollars and the Mexican peso -- will be the coin of the realm of the North American Union, a looming NAFTA-like superstate composed of Canada, Mexico and the United States, according to Human Events Online.
But the Amero is not a new concept. The Fraser Institute, a Canadian think tank, published "The Case for the Amero" in 1999.
The three heads of state issued a joint announcement about a "trilateral partnership" after meeting at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, in March 2005. "The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America" supposedly will lead to the free-market movement of people, capital and trade across the borders.
Canadians, Mexicans and Americans who value the sovereignty of their respective countries should be concerned.
The Council on Foreign Relations published a report in May -- "Building a North American Community" -- calling for, among other things, redefining the borders of the three nations, creating a super-regional governance board and the North American Paramilitary Group to ensure that Congress does not interfere with whatever the trilateral union feels like doing.

Despite the dollar's recent losses to the euro, it is still by far the major international reserve currency, with an accumulation nearly three times that of the euro.

Well in England they still use the british pound.So maybe they will use both the American dollar and the new currency,i just dont see it working because our prime minister is against the idea of a unified dollar.Unless he is full of shit.Why cant they just #$$#%#$ leave things alone.We already have a free trade agreement why this bullshit?

England decided to keep the pound their the official currency so I can't see us having both.
Another thing is standard of living, etc........just seems to me that economically the only one to really gain off this would be Mexico. I hope your right about your Prime Minister.:thumbsup:

True about England and they are still in the European Union so i dont know how that works.The only one to gain would be Mexico true but also corporations would benifit.I think they are the driving force of this.But like you said before how would it effect the rest of the world since the greenback is the major currency of almost all international transactions.Why would a government want to fuck with that?Unless your dollar is in serious trouble and on the verge of collapse,but i dont see that.But there has to be something.

p4b- all other countries pegged on the dollar (due to the world bank, or imf mostly) would be affected... it would probably be devastating in the undeveloped countries.
fish- you're right, the companies are benefiting.. from what i've read, mexico is being set up as the next big port, b/c its significantly cheaper than a port in the United States (all the 40k salaries for people and whatnot). China has its stake in this project, and it will drive down the cost of goods imported from china. This is why the highway from Mexico to Canada is part of the SPP as well.

xblack awww thats why, see there had to be something.As far as i know your longshoremen who work on the docks are bloody well paid close to 80k a year and up.So thats another bloody blow to the average joe.Then they will get the cheap mexican truckers to haul everything up here.So you can say goodbye to those fucking jobs.As well as the manufacturing jobs that go to China and Mexico.Pretty soon we will have 2 classes of people on this continent the very rich and the working poor.Sad......

MED the day banks get a heart is the day i die.MED this will be a catastrophy for many working families.How can u have a common dollar with a country that is soo poor like Mexico?You want all countries involved to be relelativly equal give or take,but Mexico is soo fucking poor why would you even think of sharing a dollar with.But when the elite run the government they dont give a shit about u or me just their elite buddies.....A new world order kinda like that really old movie where the poor live underground and are used as slaves by the elite who live above ground and live like kings.....
