The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for September 06, 2012

Those half dollars are hard to eliminate…

So, everyone is afraid of change except pigs. Got it.

Sounds like it has him rattled.

Poor piggy! So, I guess telling him to look for the silver lining won’t be much help.

Re: Mathematical psychologists would probably call this ∆phobia.I’m afraid that comment deserves a grade of D.

We went off the gold standard in the 30’s. The 57 bills stated exchange for SILVER. That’s why they were called the Silver Certificates.

everyone seems to be putting in their 2 cents worth. Personally, I think they’re all a little loonie.

Pig gives us a hole new perspective . . ☻

Fiddy $ent… git yo “baby bak”

(Mmmmmm….. ribs!!!)

Poor fellow has no way to lose weight without losing money.

The bankers stopped circulating $2 bills when the Populists started quoting Jefferson. Now banks won’t let you have Eisenhower dollars or Kennedy half dollars. Hmm, wonder if it is because our money has to be read and banks don’t want to remind people of political views they oppose? (self-evident truths, military-industrial complex, ask what you can do for your country).“What a wonderful standard gold is, to be sure. Imagine a yardstick that was 3’ long in 1789, 19 1/2” in 1809, 4’ in 1849, 38 1/2" in 1872, and 4’3.9" in 189? [when this was written]. What a reliable way to measure fabric, yet we measure our debts and credits by a means no more reliable." Stephen McLallin, Populist editor.
