Last time I checked, our currency was the DOLLAR

Breaking news: the United States Congress has teamed with Mexico and Canada to create a North American Currency for everyone to use, acceptable to all travelling throughout the continent. This comes on the brink of success with the euro currency across Europe, and the Peso on American soil in Texas.

Just kidding. Don't worry folks. The only true part of that statement regards Europe's cross-continental success using the euro. Oh, and the peso is now accepted in Dallas, Texas.

Giant and Pizza Patron in Dallas want to set an example and accept the PESO as acceptable forms of payment:

Dallas-based chain Value Giant announced in a press release Thursday that their retail stores will begin accepting Mexican pesos as payment.

Yes, an example that it's ok to be an illegal immigrant and it's ok to come to America and pay with Mexican money.

In January, another Dallas-based business, Pizza Patron, created controversy with its announcement that it would accept the Mexican currency. Pizza Patron has reported increased profits since the decision was made.

Before the euro was adopted, was it OK to tell a Frenchman you were going to buy a cup of coffee and a lemon tart with pounds and not francs?

But hey, I'm supposed to be a fiscal conservative pro-small business Republican. As long as it's good for business, right?
