    Myth: The U.S. Government, working though the SPP, has a secret plan to build a "NAFTA Super Highway."

    Fact: The U.S. government is not planning a NAFTA Super Highway. The U.S. government does not have the authority to designate any highway as a NAFTA Super Highway, nor has it sought such authority, nor is it planning to seek such authority. There are private and state level interests planning highway projects which they themselves describe as "NAFTA Corridors," but these are not Federally-driven initiatives, and they are not a part of the SPP.

    I'm a big fan of money. I like it, I use it, I have a little. I keep it in a jar on top of my refrigerator. I'd like to put more in that jar. That's where you come in.

    If the green-back fails it will be replaced with a currency that is backed by and tied to the worth of U.S. corporations, much like short-term bonds

    Interesting perspective. Aren't U.S. corporations more wordly than other government corps?

    Perhaps the goal is for the dollar to fail so corporations can rule without mandated interference.

    That's exactly where things are headed..it's the corporations and the richers that will look out for their own best interests in a worse case scenario.....just like they always do...and government? They will have little choice but to back the greenback with the toxic waste mortgages it's buying up, leading to great instability for everyone else...

    Have you bought your Amero currency yet?
    No, but I never thought it could happen. Now with the demonrats running congress, and a president that just cannot bail out the rich enough...

    I think I'll buy Pesos now. They should give a better exchange rate when we resort to Amero's.

    No, a democrat congress started it. He championed it, but he was damned either way. If he vetoed it, what we still have now would be his fault. He cannot be blamed as much as you like because bills originate in the House of Representatives.

    Generally, the correct crowd to blame for spending is congress. Not the president.

    No, the economy was doing just fine until they were in office.

    There you go again with those idiotic talking points. Republicans did try to address this in 2003, but without enough support. Prominent democrats convinced everyone that everything was OK. They didn't create the laws that put us in the crisis. They were just ineffective at fixing the problem.

    I don't have those answers. All I know is it is not the republican party's fault.

    Thew democrats have a majority now. Why are they having a hard time with their agenda? Does that make it their fault?
