re: Should the United States, Canada, and Mexico confederate?

How far we’ve fallen from a small, less centralized government. You would just open the door to more of the same corruption and greed we’ve come to expect from an out of control federal overseer.
The US is a country of 50 different countries working as one country. I have no desire to make our central government stronger, bigger, and more corrupt than it already is. Quite the opposite actually.

So you don’t think there are enough literate people in Mexico/Central America to handle the job? A lot of products are already made in Honduras etc. There are plenty of people that are more educated than either one of us in those countries. Also, you don’t need to be a Nobel prize winner to work on a factory line.

Mike, your state within a country is likely as corrupt as any other. Not to mention your county or parrish. The US is corrupt and has been broken for a century and a half. We have our great moments, but I bet our GGG Grandfathers sat at a dry goods store bitching to others about how things have gotten worse.

I think it would do the opposite. Mexico and Canada would retain their autonomy, and as long as we don't have another layer of government, I believe it would lead to more State autonomy

It may be true that there are more illiterate people in Mexico/Central America, juxtaposed with the United States, but to suggest they couldn’t handle more manufacturing due to lack of people able to read and write is absolutely absurd.

I just wanted to point out that I didn’t know that “confederate” was a verb.
I can’t be the only one.

frick it, we should take over everything down to the Panama Canal. We'd have all the nice beaches, and kicking the shite out of cartels would be fairly easy for our military. Maybe?

You’re right, and these are all effects of corruption on the federal and state level. That however is not a reason to continue down this path, and I’m convinced that people reading this right now will most surely see this country revert to more localized government as this country falls, and secession takes place to align themselves with regional partners that make more sense.
The real problem as I see it at present is that people are content with the gristle that falls from the tables of the ruling class in DC, Fifth Avenue, and Wall Street, and have missed the opportunity for something much greater in which they themselves can benefit from in a more localized economy, free market, and governing that they can control more than they can control on a national level.

I meant we erroneously assume there is more illiteracy down there than there actually is, hell, our illiteracy stats are skewed because in public schools they want to keep shutting people through the system, if you look in the mirror and get a reflection you get a hs diploma, ergo, you are "edumuhcated"

There is.
But they're coming anyway and no one is stopping them anymore. My selfish arse just wants the Canadian border to be less of a hassle.

We need to split up. Not add more to this shite show.

I don't think that's quite as rampant as everyone thinks, most of those kids get a Catholic school secondary education as a minimum, it's just a case of the tremendous gap between the have and have nots that stifle opportunity after they become of age

You’re 100 percent right, there are plenty of people here with HS diplomas that are barely literate. I was agreeing with you and more responding to the poster that suggested manufacturing jobs couldn’t be moved to Latin America due to lack of literacy.

Whoa! Talk about increasing opportunities for corruption exponentially!!! Also, you think product quality is crap now? Wait till everything is stamped ‘Made in Mexico’.
I have a better idea. How about we just bring those manufacturing jobs back to the US?

gotcha, we've been moving those jobs down there since Clinton signed the NAFTA agreement, if the workers that I see up here(Texas,) are an indication of the quality of workmanship in the factories down there, it might be a step up from up in qc from USA manufacturing

No. If anything, we should be pushing for smaller gov'ts. Now I would support an American free trade zone that allowed for the exchange of goods, services, and peoples between all the countries in North and South America.

Cartels control most of the money in Mexico. If it wasn't for the Cartel I think it would be a good idea, but I don't care where you are in Mexico, the Cartels have more influence than the government (you can argue they are one and the same since the Cartels pay off the politicians).
I wonder why the US has never helped Mexico go after the Cartels, it seems like it would be in the US's best interest if they didn't exist. Create opportunity in Mexico and there isn't nearly as many people trying to get into the US. But that's a story for another day I guess.
