Should there be a single currency universal for all North America?
- Thread starter JoMoDo
- Start date
Single currency would only come after revamped immigration and border policy. Travel between the three countries needs to be much easier. The current policy of making travel between the three harder does nothing to further the cause of single currency. Would not alleviate the problems of NAFTA. NAFTA being fixed would probably help alleviate the problems of a single currency.
Single currency is the last step of the process. The EU had to go through about 45 years of development, from the original 6 members to the current 27 members. Development included agricultural, educational, and production standards. There were standards for coal and steel and commerce and imports and trade. Some countries, like Turkey, have been trying to get into the EU for about 30 years and still haven't been able to get in because their standards are not on par with the rest of Europe.
I think before North America has a single currency, Mexico would have to achieve the same standards of education and economy as Canada and the US. I have a hard time believing this will happen anytime soon.

Some say this IS going to happen and that there have been plans to eliminate NAFTA for several years put in to gear by the Bush Admin.

From the website:
"Since 1999, the Federal Government has directed more than $234 million in project funding towards the NASCO Corridor "
Anyone else know about this?

I agree that it will take a long time. I mean, the EU is trying to get a consititutino for all of Europe, but several countries I believe have said fuck that, we disagree, one I believe is the Netherlands.
But, I see it as a positive for the economy, but a negative for the entire world.
Our system is actually trying to weed out paper money right now, and moving towards debit, and all that shit. Some higher ups at my uncle's bank were talking to him about how they're trying to phase out checks, paper money, and coins, to move towards the computer age and have all that shit in 1's and 0's on the computer......and then we would be fucked.
If that happened, we would be forced to have a NA currency.
And this shit has been discussed many a times before.

a North American Union... and the Amero are a bad idea...
Since all this come from globalist minds.. it's a bad idea because it leads to world government and tyranny.
The North American Union.. and Amero must be blocked...
Because if there ever was a north american union, it would be run by people like David Rockefeller... and they would trump the Supreme Court and constitution ...
and put in a government more sinister than Hitler's...
but for those who thinks it's a good idea.. have fun... being slaves...
I will be long gone on a remote island.. but the time this all happens.. ha!

The currency is not the last step.. one single consitution for all countries within the EU is the last step (or so it seems at this point) we still do not have one. We got the Euro before that. France and us voted "Hell no" on the one constitution. But now our government is going to shuf that shit down our throats anyway, no matter the peoples opinion. I don't know about France but with Sarkozy it seems like they are going to do it aswell.
Also it is not necessery for Mexico to get the same standards as the US and Canada (I think the standards in the US are not that high anyway since there is so much poverty there aswell) I think it is not nessecery because Poland, Hungary, Greece etc are all members of the EU, altho they do not share the Euro yet.
Also the lire in Italy has always been very low one dollar was worth several honderds if not thousands of lire while one dollar also equalled one guilder (our currency before the Euro).
When we got our guilders changed for Euros they changed 1 euro for 2.2something guilders at the time while actually the guilder was worth much more but because this rate was so much more convieniant for the bigger countries like Germany we got screwed deeply.
I do believe there will be one currency for the whole northen American continent I also think they will do this a lot quicker then we did in Europe, they learned a lot of things what to do and what not to.
I also think what IAM said that the current paper and coin money will dissapear just look at internet banking since this is getting more used now my bank won't even send me my overviews on paper anymore I have to log on to a website to check my balance (or by phone). But I don't think I will live the day to see that.

We can mostly all agree that in our lifetime there is a definitive posibility that all of our personal/financial/medical information will be stored in a 'mega data bank' and we'll use retna scans to access the info, but that's a whole nother theard.
What are the economic incentives and detriments that could arise from the Amero?

Well for one Mexico and Canada won't be so cheap to travel anymore.
Prices for everything will likey rise in the US, Mexico and Canada because of this new currency. For example a can of coke used to cost 50 guilder cents after the Euro it should have been around 25 euro cents but they only changed the fl. sign for a euro sign even in 2001 it already was 50 euro cents which is double the price. They did this for all goods.
Also spain, italy, france and a whole bunch of other countries where cheap to travel but they also rised the prices there and prices in supermarkets and other stores are equal to our prices here after the Euro.
