Why would everyone in the country go along with an idea like this? -tevis69
and if it does, there are enough people to stand up and say "well, i don't want to do that" -Sacreligion

Say what you will, the world still basically depends on the stability of the dollar to keep things going 'round. That's why the starting point for this has to be the US. As usual, while we are good at exporting all of our chief technologies, we will also export the new currency standard around the world. How would this be done?

we might think the dollars doing great---but the rest of the world thinks its worthless now--they want euros-----germany has again become a world power even if we do not want to believe it---it is their power and might that makes the euro of more worth and value than the dollar.
if anything happens to put pressure on that euro-- germany will once again feel compelled to re-arm and thus the stage will be set again for the next world war-----history always repeats itself for those that ignore its past lessons.

That will be phase one. Phase two of the roll out will involve Europe, then Asia. Such a drastic scenario would eliminate illegal use of currency or black market trade. Any trade not using the the new credit system will be considered illegal and anyone caught will be imprisoned. (Good use for those various camps being built around the country/world...)
