This is what your #37 said:

I actually did some searching about the Amero. Here is what the Bank of Canada has to say:

Though there are many other kinds of commodity convertibility, these are, as noted earlier (footnote 3) complicated and hence hard to explain to the public at large. That is one reason why all recent proposals for reforming Canada's monetary order that envisage replacing inflation targets with a system underpinned by convertibility rest, not on a commodity of any sort, but on either a brand new North American currency or the U.S. dollar. Given the Americans' total lack of interest in giving up a shred of control over their own currency, let alone abandoning it for something else, the only proposals among these that are practically possible are those involving either the outright unilateral adoption by Canada of the U.S. dollar as its currency, or the creation of a new Canadian currency linked to the U.S. dollar by way of a currency board.

Kooks like you can "talk to the hand".

This piece that you posted in #37 is ambiguous at best.

Hello, hello, anyone home? You wanted a link - well, you moron, it was marked with the big word called "LINK"!

I've repeated it, and marked the salient portion in red. I can't make it any clearer than that - it says America is not interested. Or do they have to use words of six letters or less for you to understand them?

I'll repeat the salient portion of the paragraph in big bold letters, so someone of your limited intelligence can understand them:

Given the Americans' total lack of interest in giving up a shred of control over their own currency, let alone abandoning it for something else

Now, is that clear? Do you understand? Learning yet? Or do you have to have a nurse come wipe the drool from the corners of your mouth every 10 minutes?
