It’s theoretically possible that there are a few in the US who might object, I suppose. I could be wrong.
Vicente Fox admits that he and George W. Bush have ’agreed’ on common currency, North American Union
Speaking on the Larry King show, former Mexican President Vicente Fox confirmed every assertion made by Jerome Corsi in his new book, NY Times bestseller “The Late Great U.S.A: The Coming Merger with Mexico and Canada” (WND Books, ISBNs 0-9790451-4-2, $25.95, July 2007). Not only did Fox admit that he and George W. Bush have “agreed” to create a common currency, the Amero, he contended that a North American Union is “inevitable” That’s something that Jerry Corsi takes issue with while applauding Fox’s openness on national television.
“At last we have public confirmation of the pernicious secret activity that’s been going on towards merging Mexico, Canada and the United States” declares Corsi, whose book became a bestseller shortly after publication. “Personally, I’d like to thank Vincente Fox. His candor about this merger is what’s going to stop it dead in its tracks”
Corsi continues, “Fox’s appearance with Larry King and, of all places, on The Daily Show constitutes the first time a leader of Mexico, Canada or the U.S. has openly confirmed a plan to create a regional currency called the Amero — a plan I document in detail in ’The Late Great U.S.A.’” Fox went on to explain how current regional trade agreements between the United States and its hopelessly corrupt neighbor to the south are intended to evolve into other previously hidden aspects of North American integration.
And why can’t I find this story in any credible news source? Cnn, FoxNews, ABCNews, anyone else?

Keep on rockin’ in the third world….
Apologies to Neal Young… and our grandkids
The Amero!

Gotta love Snopes!
So whens the big day? And what will the new flag look like?
The flag’s already been designed. It’s a taco bell logo. Run for the border…uh… canada?
The Amero! Sounds like the name of that new Chinese sports car that they’ll be importing any day now. Just don’t let junior chew on the paint when it chips off. And the first car tested to ever get a negative safety rating since the ill fated Audi ” Hindenburg” in 1937.
I think I’d like to see that on a ballet.
It will be great! We in the US get to be a third world country!
Dubya’s plan to screw the average man!
OK, the article is on something called “Webwire”. No byline or other source listed. It mentions WorldNetDaily (groan) but it’s not clear if they wrote this article or not.
Here is the relevant quote:
As reported in WorldNetDaily, Larry King, near the end of the broadcast, asked Fox a question e-mailed from a listener: “I would like to know how you feel about the possibility of having a Latin America united with one currency”
Fox answered in the affirmative, admitting he and George W. Bush had “agreed” to pursue the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas – a free-trade zone extending throughout the Western Hemisphere – and that part of the plan was to institute a regional currency from Canada to the tip of South America!
OK, first of all, the article reports that “Fox answered in the affirmative”, to a question that wasn’t structured as a yes/no question.
Second, the only word that is directly quoted from Fox is the single word “agreed”.
Third, there is no mention of any proposal for a common currency in either the NAFTA or the Free Trade Area of the Americas (there is nothing called the “Free Trade Agreement of the Americas”.
Sloppy, deceptive reporting from a source lacking in credibility.
On the other hand, I wouldn’t be the least bit upset if the USA and Canada decided to merge their currencies. In fact, I would be in favor of it.
But Wait! How’s this going to work if Canada secedes from Quebec first? 🙂
Sounds The Alarm –
It will be great! We in the US get to be a third world country!
Dubya’s plan to screw the average man!
OK, for the sake of argument, I’ll join you in jumping to the conclusion that this article is credible.
But assuming that the USA and Mexico did Merge their currencies, how would that automatically turn the USA into a “third world country”?
The economy of the USA is 16 times as big as that of Mexico. How would the mere act of using the same currency for both countries instantly turn the former into “a third world country”?
Sounds like you didn’t think this issue through very carefully. You just posted a knee-jerk response, letting yourself be manipulated by a misleading story.
Sounds like Dubya’s plan to screw the average man!
Another knee-jerk response. And would you consider yourself “average'”?
World Government is inevitable. This along with the EU and other cooperatives are only the first steps. It may take another 100 years or so, but it will happen.
Frank, please. This is entirely credible. Some here have been warning about this forever, please get your head out of the sand for Christs sake. I know your a conservative, you must be opposed to this.
#11 – On that we agree, especially if it means that Canada’s better attitude rubs off on our country…
#13 – Another knee-jerk response. And would you consider yourself “average’”?
Most Americans like the notion of being average. In their collective minds, the average American owns a home, a couple of cars, has a few kids, and enjoys a peaceful life of work and family. Being “average” makes one part of the community and offers a sense of comfort.
Assuming, for the sake of argument, that this alleged merger of the dollar and the peso will actually take place, how will it automatically drag the former down to the level of the latter, given that the economy of the former is 16 times as big as the latter )and that’s not counting the use of the dollar outside the USA)?
Hey hey, did you see my comment up there? The snopes article? This story is fake.
Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.
18. Assuming, Frank, that your are correct. Does it not bother you that this was all done in a secretive fashion. If true, dont you think we as Americans have a FUCKING SAY IN IT?
20. All the snopes article says is that they arent “minting” coins yet, that means nothing.

Bwahahahah… that’s the funniest line I’ve seen this week.
Euro – Ammo.
I don’t see how using the same currency will turn the USA into a third world nation. Ecuador already uses the US Dollar as their official currency and that hasn’t made us a third world country.
21. Answer the question Frank.
And El Salvador also uses the dollar.
Mark –
I’ll answer your question in #21 when you answer my question in #18.
OK. I dont know what affect it will have on our economy. I am not an economist. Thats my answer, and totally beside the point I am trying to make. Now answer my question in #21.
Your question #21 assumes that this is a done deal. It is not.
If you could combine Mexico’s men’s soccer team with the U.S. men’s soccer team, you might actually have a team that could make it to the semifinals.
Countries that use the US Dollar
the United States, the British Indian Ocean Territory, the British Virgin Islands, East Timor, Ecuador, El Salvador, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Palau, Panama, Turks and Caicos Islands, and the insular areas of the United States
Countries whose currencies are pegged to the US Dollar
Aruba, Bahamas, Bahrain, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Cuba (convertible Peso), Djibouti, Eritrea, Hong Kong, Jordan, Lebanon, Maldives, Netherlands Antilles, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Venezuela, East Caribbean Dollar zone (Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines)
All of the Caribbean except Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and the French possessions of Guadeloupe, Martinique, St. Barthelmy, and the French half of St. Martin use either the US Dollar or currencies that are pegged to it.
All of the Middle East except Israel, Iraq, and Syria use currencies that are pegged to the US Dollar.
29. Frank- Ok I give up. You can’t or won’t answer the question, which was based on “if” its a done deal. Tapdance around it all you like, its that kind of denial that will get us into this Union. You are probably for it anyway, and thats OK if you are, your entitled to that, but I am not, and I think we should at least have a voice in it.
And Yemen.
My wife and I lived overseas and moved back to the US in 2003. It was like we had moved to the third world! We’re moving back to Thailand in 2008 and won’t be coming back. Even the “third world” like Thailand is better than the third world in California and Texas.
You are welcome to live in a nasty, violent, crime-ridden, dirty, Latin culture, but I don’t want to.
The U.S. is finished. The only people who don’t understand that are Americans.
