We are becoming Euro-trash!

FTA: "Our great 'rival', the Euro, looks so spanky in comparison it seems the only clear way to revive this global recession is to rebrand and redesign,"

"Spanky"? ? Sounds like a bunch of weirdos are designing our money. Besides, do we really want to "reviive" the global recession? One would think, were one not into spanking so much, that we would want to shut down the recession, but hey, that's just me. YMMV

based on the way the Federal Reserve devalues our money, I think we should redesign all our bills to looks like squares of toilet paper. Their only usefullness before too long will be as TP.

I think those designs are great! They make our money look more like the Euro money, which helps us move in that direction. I think the picture of President Obama is wonderful and what better symbol to have on our money to illustrate our transition to a more European socialist country. I wish they would move on these ideas much quicker.

Well, he got that right, as much as I hate the thought. Especially because Europe thinks socialism has failed and they are moving in our direction.

Even though a disgusting idea which I hope never happens, devaluing to the point of worthlessness should be a crime. Thinking about it maybe those designs should be a crime also. The change in your pocket really won’t have any value either, hell most of it is about like a washer from your local hardware store anyway.

Last election worthless change was voted in, now it is up to us to make change worth something again!
