Hamilton to be replaced by woman on $10 bill

We had Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington, on the £5 note. He was a military and political figure, who was prime Minister twice.

Oh, I didn't realise that. Isn't Churchill proposed on an upcoming banknote too?

It's not the first time non-presidents have appeared on US currency. It's a good thing to get away from this mindless president worship nonsense. Non-politicians on money, especially ones who were human rights heroes is good in my book. It's a lot better thing to celebrate in American culture than the Genocide of Native Americans.

I don't care who is on money. It all spends the same. It can be Bart fucking Simpson for all I care. Genocide, homicide, insecticide, woopdy fucking doo. What I don't like is the timing of this.


Pretty sure we didn't have a choice in the matter.

Sure you did. Two Hamiltons is the same as one Jackson, with less *gasp* genocide. Better yet, four Abes! Abe was the king for all the faux human rights "activists". If you really cared, of course.

Is he? That would be 2-0 for Tory P.M.s against socialist ones. :mad:

Yeah, I think its gonna be Churchill, Jane Austin and someone else on the three main note. Dunno who's up for the 50.

I can't see the current government going for someone like Aneurin Bevan on a banknote given the way they seem to be treating the NHS at the moment.
 
Thankfully, Churchill is remembered more for his leadership during the 2nd world war rather than his performance during peacetime so I don't really think its a case of a Tory politician being commemorated.

We should have Churchill on the 20. He's 1/2 American. That's twice as American as Ted Cruz.

LOL, US politics is hilarious... and a bit scary. A bit like American Idol but with more serious consequences when you vote for the crazy one just 'cos they make good TV.

You'd have a point if votes actually counted and any of it mattered.

Its similar in the UK to a certain extent - a large number of the constituencies are "safe seats" so a politician has to really catastrophically fuck up to loose one of them.
 
I've heard like 90% of money has the feces contamination on it, also cocaine.

Maybe get real, have Ed Norton( from the Honeymooners, who worked "down in the sewer"), or Scarface Tony Montana.

Our politicians simply "redistrict" until they have the constituency they need to ensure victory. Both political parties collude on it, and it's perfectly legal (ugh). Every once in a while the courts will throw out their plan if it is particularly egregious, but most of the time it stands.

I'm sorry I resurrected this thread. :facepalm:

...joking.

Let's rename it "The Official Politics Thread". That might get it shut down by the end of the day, actually.
