Topic:

I think if it goes 1 on 1, best thing to do is to fix it there or alternatively have one currency for both US and EU.

I will post my arguments for it later. Any opinions?

Re:

Fixing it would be insane. The distance between us makes it logical to maintain seperate currencies.

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!

What about nuking Greece, how's that for a solution? Or perhaps just kick them out of the monetary union.

We should buy 1 billion Euro, set the exchange rate to $15,000 : 1 euro, pay off our national debt with 1 billion euro, and then switch back to $0.90 : 1 euro

Not many people know this, but I own the first radio in Springfield. Not much on the air then, just Edison reciting the alphabet over and over. "A" he'd say; then "B." "C" would usually follow...

Re:

It would save a whole lot of administration and be a far more stable currency. Both effects save a huge amount of money. I'm sure obama is still able to hand it out to one or another big company going down but ok.

It would also prevent speculation against the euro or the dollar. Both can end up in a worldwide crisis.

Then how would Obama be able to print out 3 trillion dollars a year above and beyond replacing old bills?

Re:

I think it would be cool if there was a Western Union, as in a union of the Western world. The West could have its own currency, and be a confederation headquartered in Rome.

Italy has no place in a Western Union. You do not want to deal with their corruption and lies. They're the next Greece.

Rome might be symbolic ok and has a rich history but that's about it. Apart from that I agree. It will not happen very soon tough.

Re:

apparently we're printing $1 trillion to give to the IMF, to prop up the euro, so the euro = $ and we might as well accept Monopoly money as legal tender

Re:

If there became a one world currency and the west became a whole single union there would be a revolution in America from all of those "right-wing" militias. America is actually very sensitive about its country identity espec since we're still relatively young in that since.
