Yeah, the economy in the US sucks

I read this article that's quite informative. Here is a quick quote from the article:

 

American citizens understand that the current housing slump has produced quite a few bargains for people looking to invest in housing in the US. However, the best deals aren't in the United States, rather they can be found in Mexico where housing is very affordable, the climate is favorable, and the dollar goes much further. Moreover, buying property in Mexico provides a way for Americans to protect their wealth without worrying that politicians will find some way to tax their livelihoods away.

This is a great point. Many Americans should consider investing in homes in other countries (i.e. Canada, Mexico).  Please read the article and let me know your thoughts.

Amero Currency: One Union Under God? With Liberty?

This site is intended to make United States citizens aware of the advancement of the agenda to launch

the nations of North America, including the U.S., into a continental union similar to the European Union.

The international work-in-progress, named the "Security and Prosperity Partnership Of North America

(SPP)," has a broad scope. The program goal, according to a release by the White House Office of the

Press Secretary, is"To enhance the competitive position of North American industries in the global

marketplace and to provide greater economic opportunity for all of our societies, while maintaining high

standards of health and safety for our people, the United States, Mexico, and Canada will work together,

and in consultation with stakeholders, to:"

Improve Productivity

Reduce the Costs of Trade

Enhance the Quality of Life

Initially, these goals sound reasonable. However, upon inspection and understanding of the background

of the movement, it becomes clear that, once fully implemented, the newly formed organization will usurp

authority of the U.S., and redistribute power and wealth among the three North American nations.

The brain trusts behind the philosophies that laid the groundwork for the program, in its current and

future forms, elaborate a broader view of economics and "sovereignty" that also redistribute economic

and legislative powers.

According to the web site of the U.S. Senate, Robert Pastor--a former U.S. National Security Council

director--discussing the SPP, testified:

NAFTA has failed to create a partnership because North American governments have not changed

the way they deal with one another. Dual bilateralism, driven by U.S. power, continue to govern and

irritate. Adding a third party to bilateral disputes vastly increases the chance that rules, not power,

will resolve problems.

This trilateral approach should be institutionalized in a new North American Advisory Council.

Unlike the sprawling and intrusive European Commission, the Commission or Council should be

lean, independent, and advisory, composed of 15 distinguished individuals, 5 from each nation. Its

principal purpose should be to prepare a North American agenda for leaders to consider at

biannual summits and to monitor the implementation of the resulting agreements. It should be an

advisor to the three leaders but also a public voice and symbol of North America. It should evaluate

ways to facilitate economic integration, producing specific proposals on continental issues such as

harmonizing environmental and labor standards and forging a competition policy.

The U.S. Congress should also merge the U.S.-Mexican and U.S.-Canadian interparliamentary

groups into a single “North American Parliamentary Group.”

Pastor goes further, suggesting (As the SPP defines) less emphasis on national border security:

"At the same time, our Task Force recommends that all three governments define and defend a

continental perimeter."

He also goes so far as to define:

"The North American Council should develop an integrated continental plan for transportation and

infrastructure that includes new North American highways and high-speed rail corridors. The

United States and Canada should each develop national standards on weight, safety, and

configuration of trucking and then negotiate with Mexico to establish a single set of standards."
