Hamilton to stay on $10; Tubman replacing Jackson

Politipoo ^

[Red Badger]

According to the government’s CPI calculator, which goes back to only 1913, $100 in 1913 is worth $2,405.37 of today’s money. So, going back past the War Between the States, I’m sure it was mush higher than even that.

Is the Sharpton three dollar bill far behind?

[Spirochete]

Let the $1, $2, and $5 display the portraits of downtrodden noteworthy minorities, and rotate them periodically to placate all the whiners.

Leave the higher denominations for Founders (Madison, Jefferson, Franklin, Washington, and Hamilton).

Harriet Tubman, while great, is obviously not appropriate for being on money. That is for founders of the republic.

And somebody please send Jack Lew to a sanatorium so we can all move on with our lives. What ridiculousness! Can this country go one day without being a freak?

It will be Liberace soon.

This is so stupid it burns.

American is moving into a post racial society? Or one where it's all race all the time?

Tubman? are we turning our money into a Trivial Pursuit game?

2030? God willing; I’ll be dead before then...

[SkyDancer]

Well, I was trying to be snarky ....

[Red Badger]

Oh, and here I thought you were being facetious!.............

“The result of BLM.”

Obviously, an activist is more important than a president of the US. What was I thinking?!

[SkyDancer]

Maybe I was, dunno. My mind is at 40,000 feet heading to Chicago right now. And if it wasn’t for Chicago, Dubuque Iowa would have been south of Omaha. Not sure.

[Vaquero]

And a proponent of sterilization eugenics.

[Red Badger]

Are you flying or just daydreaming?.................

[Vaquero]

I’m surprised zer0 didn’t pick WEB Debois or Frank Marshall Davis or Malcolm X.

[SkyDancer]

I will be flying. Was just studying my flight plans for next week.

Tubman is minor historical figure even in the suffrage movement. There were many many other people involved with the Underground Railroad.

Most of the leading suffragists were white , to be honest.
