You would be able to trade goods and services more easy and currency exchange would be eliminated as the three countries would be trading in the Amero. Obamas man Zbig Brezinski backs it so it might come into fruition during his presidency. McCain probably backs it to given his stance on Mexican immigration.

I once shook hands with a senior Republican functionary at a Virginia regional convention, and whose name I've conveniently forgotten. I mentioned that it might be better to control the House of Representatives since that body controls the purse strings, and can cut government waste and inefficiency. He replied that it was better for the party to control the White House since that brought more money into party coffers. That was when I became a borderline anarchist. The year was 1989. @7 John

Out here in Orange County, GOP national money center, most of the local Republicans backed Romney to get some of his consulting-contract dough, and to line up for posts in his administration. They'll be pushing him the next 4 years. He's the 2012 odds-on favorite for now. Sharp, oleagenous, ruthless. I'll bet he's modeling himself on Nixon's 1967-68 makeover. It wouldn't surprise me if he glommed onto some of Dr. Paul's ideas, even the gold standard. @6 Etienne Gervaise.

Ron Paul was too smart for the presidency, so the puppet industry wanted non of him. If you want to see this phenomenon action come to CPAC 2010 at the Omni Shoreham. I witnessed a roving scrum of toadies following Mitt Romney as he convinced Washington types that he was conservative. @5 John

Doing so would be another slam to the dollar, requiring the US also to return to the gold standard or face hyperinflation. Things would be a lot easier of people just listened to Ron Paul.

I think calling the Chinese elite "prudent" a bit of a stretch. They have enormous problems with corruption. Let's not let our hatred for the US elite lead us to fantasies about the character of foreigners.

I dont see why Russia and China should prop up the dollar after the US/Isreal/Georgia aggression against South Ossetia. Why finance someone who's goal is to destroy you.

The thought that arises from the reading is: Why would anyone in the world finance such idiocy? As it turns out, they won’t. Looks like the only idiots reside in DC. God help us.

I only hope there will be real change this time. I would hate to think the rest of the world will forget about it and let the financial elite in America do what they were doing before the crisis - thinking only of their portfolios while the rest of America is left to fend for themselves.
