The Amero is coming!!

[Toma]

Its the ONLY reason I can see for this crazy but engineered devaluation of the US $, and now perhaps our dollar..... (if they start dropping our interest rates for NO REASON)

Devaluing our currencies will make the idea of the Amero easier to swallow for the dummies...

I am buying a shitload of euros today, even though the exchange is disgusting... $1.376!

I highly doubt this has been engineered as much you seem to think. At the end of the day, all the fundamentals pointed to the fact that we would see this happening. Perhaps it's happened quicker and to a greater dgree than most expected... but many saw it coming. The US has been teetering on the cliff with their dollar due to crazy spending and a brutal trade deficit for years, and they have done nothing to solve it. American culture killed itself here.... as people save nothing, spend everything, live on credit, and the financial insitutions have allowed/encouraged it. When the economy slows down due to this over-eager consumer, the Fed cuts rates to try and "boost" the economy, which devalues the $US. This was simply bound to happen..... and now it's up to Canada to try and figure out a way to ensure it doesn't hurt our economy TOO much.

I agree with Toma.

And as far as fundamentals - financial institutions have allowed/encouraged all this to happen - It was bound to happen almost like it was all set up

Central banks, skull n bones, Security and Prosperity Partnership blah blah blah


I just have a feeling that there is more going on here then meets the eye

oh believe me the US government is in full control of their currency. That was the entire point of Fiat money. However, never in the history of the world has a Fiat money system been successful in the long run. The constant manipulation of the currency by the government is going to lead the US and many other countries to ruin.

Also, interest rates are only a small part in the valuation of their dollar. The fact that their printing money from 'thin air' on a daily basis is a huge contributor. Need another trillion dollars? No problem! Lets fire up the printing machines! No shit your dollar is going to be worthless. This kills the spending power of the regular middle class person and makes their savings and salary worthless. However it benefits the government which works for itself not the people.

Fuck the Amero, bring back the gold standard

nothing that is going on is secret. It's public knowledge. However, it's over most people's heads and the reality won't sink in until the day comes that they can no longer put food on their tables.

I have to say, I can't immediately dismiss this possibility. It is very odd that no one in power did anything to stop this. So either they are actually all idiots (which I doubt), or there is something else going on here.

2 possibilities:

1. A population that can go out and buy houses and cars and whatnot are a lot more prone to just going along with things. Not so much an Amero as a "just give them what they want today so that we can get re-elected" kind of thing.

or

2. They really are starting to fuck with us to intentionally put in an Amero.

Neither are particularly comforting

All i have to say is that is one real bad thing!

I would welcome the Amero if that means complete parity of all consumer good prices as USA.

[SilverRex]

what is an Amero?

cant we just do something like what they do with hong kong, fix our currency the same?

I totally wont mind having usd/cad 1 to 1 for the rest of our lives.

kuz then, canada will have no choice but to sell us US pricings. I hope.

Think past the stupid shit you buy and think about what would happen to Canada if this came about.

The North American Peso (or at least that's what it's value would be).

Canada, America, and Mexico all sharing the same currency.

Yeah I know all the risks. My comment was kind of a joke.

But like I said before. Our economic entity needs to be bigger and attract more membership to fight with EU, China and India.

Amero is just a matter of time.

Yes there will be difficulties. Just like the Italian switching to Euros.

Next were not only gonna share currency with Americans, were gonna be sharing thier policies. Lets all give a big wide open welcome to the Patriot Act and all the othe BS that comes along with it!

What makes you think it would be weaker? The Euro hasn't become weaker by adding weaker economies to the EU, why would it happen here?

Some stated goals of the SPP below. IMO, they leave the door open for the adoption of existing US policies:

* Develop and implement a strategy to enhance North American maritime transportation and port security.

* Develop and implement a strategy to establish equivalent approaches to aviation security for North America.

* Develop and implement a comprehensive North American strategy for combating transnational threats to the United States, Canada, and Mexico, including terrorism, organized crime, illegal drugs, migrant and contraband smuggling and trafficking.

* Enhance partnerships on intelligence related to North American security.

* Develop and implement a common approach to critical infrastructure protection, and response to cross-border terrorist incidents and, as applicable, natural disasters.
