NEW FACES on CURRENCY and RELATED CONCERNS
It is true, US currency as we know it ennobles the faces of slave owners, supporters and tolerants of slavery (thus Article 1, Sec. 2, Par. 3, and exceptions in Emancipation Proclamation), executors of genocide and mass confiscation, iron-fist imperialists and warmongers, schemers and looters of various sorts, philandering brutes and more. It is also true by end of 1913, upon various failed attempts during the previous 137 years, the cleverest of monetary arrangements was concocted on Jekyll Island, legislated and signed in Washington; Federal Reserve Act. Since, currency have been monopolized by rule of law, purposely devalued by decisions and policies, with tokens of transparency tossed to the mob, so to maintain the secrecy highly coveted by government politicians and their patronizing cronies.
With devaluation nearly complete, new faces are recommended; Harriet Tubman for the 20 dollar bill, suffragette yet determined for the 10 dollar bill, and others. One could say "this is long overdue" and appropriately so. However, one could say "why now" and apprehensively so as well. I suggest a forthcoming transition to new currency, to bolster public confidence in it, to buy time against inevitable collapse of it. Logically, it is a transition not uncommon though desperate as government's central bank scrambles amid ongoing economic declination. I contend the replacing of faces on bills and coins will be first of phases toward new "fiat" tender, so to not stir suspicion nor incite fears by maneuvers more bold (like Venezuela foregoing the bolivar for the bolivar fuerte by dropping zeroes, literally).
Is it genuinely memorial to place on unsound currency with faces of sounder character. Instead, are they disgraced further by including such persons of historical nature and contribution, as part of political contrivances. Therefore I propose this. Allow currency to be as it is, perhaps more of the same faces; present and recent US presidents, Federal Reserve board members, joint chiefs and generals, Senators and Representatives, and so on. In this way, the actual scoundrels and thieves responsible for the demise of currency, economy, general prosperity and well being of all, will be rightly associated and remembered.
