This represents what our housing will be like after we get done with all the bailouts.

They way I heard it is the “Left” said the penny is too small to be troubling God with, my guess is soon the nickle will be too

I wish we could just get rid of pennies. They are a waste of space.

“In God We Trust” is on the Obverse (front). The new designs are for the back, in celebration of Abraham Lincoln’s 200th birthday.

Why Lincoln, with all we now know about him ?

Why not Grover Cleveland, the last good Democrat President of the U.S. ?

“Why make pennies anyway? People throw them down in the parking lots........”

Because our government loves to do things like make these coins which cost more than their face value.

They are a waste.

In God We Trust is on the edge of all these new designs...it allows for a bigger image.

I heard this weekend someone is proposing a slimed down nickle. They said it cost .09 cents to make a nickle.

And this will be the new penny after the politicians and their Wall Street cronies finish slopping at the trough:
