TRANSATLANTIC RELATIONS: EU and US plan world’s biggest trade bloc (http://stratrisks.com/geostrat/10716)


The world’s two largest economic powers would like to join forces via a free-trade agreement. Yet the hurdles are high. The EU and US are aiming not just for a small trade solution, but for the largest proposal of all.
Economists, politicians and entrepreneurs are practically foaming at the mouth. The planned all-encompassing free-trade agreement between the US and EU would spur growth on both sides of the Atlantic. It would also ensure that the global economic rules of the future are put in place by western countries – and not China...

Can't really trade much if one side produces worthless fiat currency and the other side produces crazy socialist ideas.

Now that's not true. The fiat currency side creates millions of Nigerians and Somalians who can't support themselves
and the socialist idea side ship them all to Boise and Amsterdam to live in government housing projects that are nicer than the middle class homes they had to tear down to build the projects.

Yes, but now you are allowed to travel from Denmark to Greece with ease, to get rocks thrown at you.
