Since the Euro has proven to be an unmitigated disaster, they will undoubtedly come up with endless re-inventions of the concept to justify the foolishness. The public will never accept it, so it will have to be done with bureaucratic subterfuge.
The bottom line is that these internationalists suffer a delusion similar to the communists. That is, communists *believed* in communism as a faith, despite any evidence to the contrary. The internationalists are likewise convinced, as a matter of faith, that the future of the world lies in internationalism.
It took 70 years of brutal, punishing examples showing that no element of communism ever works; yet even at the bitter end, many still were true believers. They knew in their heart of hearts that if just a little more resources were given to the system; or, if outsiders would just stop sabotaging it, then it would work.
Europe, to no great surprise, is starting its long, inexorable slide to becoming again like the Holy Roman Empire. But like its predecessor, it will drag on for who knows how long as a joke before some strong leader withdraws his nation, while holding his nose. Then it will collapse like a house of cards. But many of the true believers will remain.
The one thing that opponents of the Amero cannot tolerate is for everyone to just laugh at their ideas, to point and laugh, and call them stupid. True believers hate having their ideas laughed at above all else. It also helps if you tap your forehead with your finger at the same time.
I would be in favor of a North American currency (short of full monetary privatization but that’s a separate issue). But it wouldn’t be called the “amero”, both the US and Canada call their currency the Dollar and that’s based on a Spanish word already. 2nd, US money is already going multicolored, a new design for NAFTA isn’t that far fetched and like the Euro, each nation will print their own national symbols on their currency.
What’s most crucial is that NAFTA and the EU might very well be in competition for the UK. They’re looking for every reason under the sun not to adopt the Euro and if we can provide an even larger currency block then the EU, then we might be able to win them over.
Just to be clear, all I’m talking about is having a common currency, not any significant changes in the political structure other then what would be required to implement it.
