Exactly. Rather or not, China adapts to Euro will depend on the amount of trade with EU.

I searched your links, all of them are Tomfoolery . . . intellectual slight of hand to distract us from solving real-immediate issues like the dis-integration of the black family and the lack of knowledge and know-how of business-building in the black community.

But, in terms of the "Amero"

First off, most of your references are outdated ('06 and '01). And your youtube reverence has some semi-cook asserting its existence with the commentator completely unawares, it's not like it was an intense discussion with congresspeople, AND, it was a cat from london, not someone from our side of 'the pond' who has traveled the inner circles of american planning. Your canadian 'newspaper' references were from decidedly conspiracy-theorist papers and anti-american papers who weren't reporting on actual plans, but attempting to prevent positive speculation.

Second, you don't factor in that Americans have a 'superiority' complex in their national identity that would create a severe backlash from rural gun-toting 'patriots' who would be vehemently opposed to the integration of the currency. I cite the whole debate on immigration.

Third, there was no singular dominant economy like the US in Europe that proposed or opposed the Euro. Canada and Mexico have economies that are about the size of California's or smaller, making the US an unassailable powerhouse. Europe's economy was already heavily integrated with cross-border travel facilitated by a top-of-the line high-speed train network that allowed for business-class travel within Europe that surpasses the cross-state travel in the NE metropolis from Boston to NY. The creation of the Euro served more to be an after-the-fact recognition of heavy integration than a plan for integration, a good metaphor would be the difference from formal promissary marriage ("amero") as we know it and common-law marriage which recognizes a man and a woman living together for 7 years as married (Euro). The creation of the Euro could be adequately be likened to the common currency of the US at the inception of the US and the creation of a national currency some 200 years ago.

With the combined forces of US fundamentalist national pride and the fact that we're the big guy on the block obviates the rise of the Amero any time in the next 50 years. I think the creation of the Amero is as likely as the founder of the RNA being elected to congress.

Foggetaboutit

ps: that white-house crap about the Security and Prosperity Partnership? It's vaccuous propoganda from them that has no grit.

It is grit which has already been passed, passed without both the senate and congress. It is already on the logs mate... propaganda created on the white house website which announces that it is already created? Are you serious? Look of the key points of the treaty which we are currently in:
Report to Leaders

This is similar to how the American people gave up their constitutional rights through rhetoric of both the 'War on Terrorism' Campaign as well as the Patriot Act signed by us to applause instead of a great big question mark... Take the time to at least read what you lost in entirety, it is a good read.

None of it is created to oppose the currency, it will be made in conjuntion to it in relation, and then combined later since the same council members on both the Federal Reserve and ECB are 1] Private bankers and 2] members of the Council of Foreign Relations, and 3] have ties within the World Bank. If you can, look at the historical data of the dollar vs Euro and the moves made by the Fed to counteract growth of the dollar itself. As well as the amount of dollars which it printed on loan to the government in the past two years. Each loan weakens the dollar itself because it is borrowed with interest. Each interest rate cut stabilizes it momentarily, then continues to lose its value against both Euro and Sterling [Pound]. The trend was made. How long did it take for legislation of the Euro, as of the Maastricht Treaty in 1993, as a means of trade in 99, hard currency in 2002.

Not going to argue with you, for you will find anything within your eye shot that of a conspiracy although he is telling you [Bush] of all of his movements...

wait and see. Won't say another word on it, just continue to make my money off of it without further insight.
