Glenn Beck and Michelle Bachmann, standing strong against the Amero. Heck this one isn't even limited to North America, maybe we should call it the Eartho.
For any given insane freak-out, a majority of conservatives don’t happen to participate. But the non-participants don’t do anything to disavow their confrères doing the freaking-out.
These idiots need to be mocked with every bit of the fervor and anger that we typically reserve for 9-11 "Truthers".
Geithner was asked at a Council on Foreign Relations event in New York about People’s Bank of China Governor Zhou Xiaochuan’s call for a new international reserve currency. He said while he had not read Zhou’s proposal, he understood it as a plan “designed to increase the use of the IMF’s special drawing rights. And we’re actually quite open to that.”
The dollar slid as much as 1.3 percent against the euro within 10 minutes of news accounts of Geithner’s remarks. It recouped much of the loss about 15 minutes later, when Geithner then predicted no change in the U.S. currency’s role. The dollar was down 0.9 percent at $1.3591 per euro as of 3:39 p.m. in New York.
