WASHINGTON -- Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is raising speculation that Harriet Tubman's future on the $20 bill could be in jeopardy.
Mnuchin is avoiding a direct answer when asked whether he supports the decision made by the Obama administration to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill with Harriet Tubman, the 19th century African-American abolitionist famous for the Underground Railroad.
During last year's campaign, Donald Trump praised Jackson, the nation's seventh president, for his "history of tremendous success" and said the decision to replace him with Tubman was "pure political correctness."

"Right now, we have a lot more important issues to focus on." A bit of an understatement if you ask me.

It would be “pure political correctness”. But I think President Trump has bigger political fish to fry than this issue.

The picture on the proposed $20 bill looks like a homeless bag lady off her meds.

We should put Karl Marx on there. Just because it would completely piss him off.

Actually I was rather looking forward to it. I know it's not the most important priority but I get tired of seeing the same old people on my money.

Depends on the picture they would use.
Knowing the Treasury Dept. they'd use a sour faced grandma portrait.

Steven Mnunchin is a total sexist and anti democrat slob. Oh wait, Tubman was a Republican and Christian.
Never mind.
Andrew Jackson is fine to keep on the 20

Maybe they could do a 50/50 split in future printings. A pro-gun Republican who shot Democrats isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
