This will happen sometime within a decade unless we can stop it...

Jackson and Polk would be considered as conservatives today.
Draw Groucho glasses on the replacement at every opportunity.
Also, she’s not the shade they’re after.
So sad, and so right.
If I’m not mistaken, I believe The Hildebeeste’s husband has been “The $3 Bill” for 20+ years now.
I will not use the new “affirmative action” 20’s ... all 10’s and 50’s from here on.
* the women’s suffrage movement” will be added to the back of the 10 *
There will be stacks and stacks of unused tens sitting in bank vaults next to the Susan B Anthony dollars...
I know of several indians in Oklahoma who will not accept a $20 bill because of Jackson’s image.
Will there even be a United States, let alone what the money will look like?
So? What about Sacajawea?
That's the way I look at it.
If there is a female historical American that is as *significant* as Jackson, then OK, fine.
But I can't think of one.
I think they should go with Lady Liberty.
She's been on currency for centuries and is still a powerful symbol.
Nor on any other denomination of US coin or currency.
That would be the only possible figure that would be remotely acceptable.
That’ll be a $20 with mustaches drawn on every one of them.
We both forgot our < /sarc > tags!
Harriet Tubman doesn’t even rise to the level of needing to learn about her life, much less being worthy of being placed along side the founders of our country and the greatest presidents.
The truth is, Harriet Tubman has been part of a desperate attempt to find significant black historical figures to cover in us history classes as a form of historical affirmative action.
Harriet Tubman did some good things, but face it, if she were white NO ONE would remember her and she sure as heck wouldn’t be placed alongside our nations greatest on our currency.
It’s sad really.
Harriet Tubman gets a participation ribbon she didn’t earn for being black. I guess it’s perfect for our time when you think about it.
This action opens the door to replacing all of the other Presidents on our bills with politically acceptable figures.
They will find something wrong with all the others when they apply today’s PC standards to yesterdays heroes.
