The Super Corridor

[Bikewer]

I admit I hadn't heard of this one till I saw an article in today's Post-Dispatch.

Evidently, CT'ers see a "super" superhighway being built from Mexico, across the US, and into Canada, with the ultimate aim of one government for all three states, one currency (the "Amero") etc.
The local interest is that here in Missouri there will be an enormous immigration/trade/customs center (and perhaps a McTruckstop?) which will be built near Kansas city.

-- erm --- As as European, living in the EU, I really don't get what some (or most?) of the American people have against closer trade & economy co-operation with Mexico and Canada?? In the EU, this sort of co-operation did infact result in economic growth & stability as well as having the goods produces in the countries where companies can afford to have them produced. This has also meant that especially the former Estern European countries have reached very high living standards in a very quick amount of time. And that ideas are being developed in say Denmark, while the products,
relying on said ideas, are being made in say Hungary or Chechia.

As for the superhighway, my European brain tells me it is a very good idea, although my European brain might suggest a train track (or route) instead, or as well. (call the french and get their TGV train technology, or better yet, built TGV trains yourself in the US...).
