When will the next new person on a form of currency be a white male?

[MrWonka]

With all the discussion about currency and replacing existing people with new people, let's ask a politically incorrect question...

When will the next new person on a form of currency be a white male?

1) It'll be soon.
2) Never again in my lifetime.
3) Not for 100+ years.

If you had to predict, of course, and United States currency. The buzz-killington-obtuse will say they have no way of knowing, as if they're somehow special in their self-perceived exceptional rationality, but some of us like to amuse ourselves with this sort of thing. Have at it.

I say never in my lifetime, but only because I wouldn't be the least bit shocked if we completely eliminated all forms of hard currency within the next 10-20 years.

I think that President Obama will be on our currency much sooner than in a hundred years.

I understand that Ms. Harriet Tubman is soon to be on our currency.

I think that President Obama could easily have his face on our currency after hers.

I have no doubt that many people in the Democratic party would urge the next Democratic president to support such a move, which would be very popular with many people.

Obama is an Epic Fail and as a result, his Presidential Library will fit in a broom closet at the YMCA in Chicago. All plans for him on Mt Rushmore have also been tabled

Thank you for telling us the year of the rollout.

I think that it is accurate to say that the Trail of Tears will eventually be remembered, too.



Have a nice weekend!

We should never forget what the US government did to the Cherokee Nation. We should remove the honor of being on US currency from the person responsible for it.

I get the feeling that in the coming decades, MANY prominent people on our currency will be removed.

I will keep my opinion about President Obama to myself, but I think that many people feel that he did a good job for eight years and that many people still greatly admire him.

I am confident that President Obama will be honored on our currency relatively soon.



Have a nice weekend!

Actually, having one's image on currency is a form of royal treatment. Look at a 1908 coin set and tell me how many identifiable individuals do you see. Look at the whole series: Penny, Nickel, Dime, Quarter, Half Dollar, 2.5, 5, 10 and 20 gold. Dollar coins were not minted in 1908, so look at 1904 on that one.

Already in the works. You seem nice enough to be deserving of a Trump coin under your Christmas tree!

Or, if you prefer, you might choose between the Obama and Pompeo j*** straps. President Trump only described the latter one to the visiting President of Finland.

What is the basis of your opinion? Possibly this,

Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act - Wikipedia

…The ACA's major provisions came into force in 2014. By 2016, the uninsured share of the population had roughly halved, with estimates ranging from 20 to 24 million additional people covered during 2016.[5][6] The increased coverage was due, roughly equally, to an expansion of Medicaid eligibility and to major changes to individual insurance markets. Both involved new spending, funded through a combination of new taxes and cuts to Medicare provider rates and Medicare Advantage. Several Congressional Budget Office reports said that overall these provisions reduced the budget deficit, that repealing the ACA would increase the deficit,[7][8] and that the law reduced income inequality by taxing primarily the top 1% to fund roughly $600 in benefits on average to families in the bottom 40% of the income distribution.[9]
….
Since being signed into law in 2010, the PPACA has faced strong political opposition, calls for repeal (from Republicans) and numerous legal challenges; its enactment is considered to be a catalyst for the Tea Party movement. ….

Or perhaps, this, (and why is the ballooning debt under Trump's administration, stimulating the economy?)
