This week, Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire introduced the Women on the Twenty Act, legislation aimed at putting an American woman on the $20 bill. Shaheen's efforts nod to an initiative by Women on 20s, a group that is lobbying to change the $20 by 2020. That year Americans will mark the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th amendment, which granted women the right to vote. (The $20 is also overdue for a redesign to thwart counterfeiters.)
For Andrew Jackson, current face of the $20 bill, this is the latest assault on the paper perch he has occupied since 1928. Last June, my colleague Conor Friedersdorf argued that Martin Luther King, Jr., who is listed as the most-admired American of the 20th century, deserves the spot held by Jackson. He noted that while many young American children only have memory of life with a black president, "these same kids are still growing up in a country where the faces celebrated on the paper currency are all white." Friedersdorf continues:
I don't want to overstate the importance of that. There is a long list of suboptimal policies that are vastly more urgent to remedy. Still, the lack of diversity in this highly symbolic realm is objectionable, and improving matters would seem to be very easy.

There's seems no end in sight to the machinations of the left wing's collective-convoluted pathological ravaged brain to stop at nothing in going as far as removing all members of humanity's inherent adversaries, white males, from remaining a viable niche in our midst, all of whom for the most part have been instrumental in the creation of the quality of life we all enjoy within civilization. Well, I suggest a .02 valued paper currency bill with the image of the man who devalued the $20 bill to its current value of .02
We should put women on all the money. It would be more honest,,,
1. Lady Liberty or Columbia
2. Laura Ingalls, symbolizing the hard-working women pioneers who built America and believed in freedom.
I can’t think of any others that the left would choose that I wouldn’t refuse to touch.
So, let’s repeal the 19th and here no more of this.
And, it’s not impossible either.
We repealed the 18th and the country is better for it.
It’s a mistake, which makes it more valuable to collectors
I’ll vote “aye” if they put Sarah Palin on the $20.
Hee hee hee...can’t you just see the feminists’ collective blood pressure spiking at that possibility?
“The $20 is also overdue for a redesign to thwart counterfeiters.”
I don’t really understand why this is even a worry. The Treasury Dept estimates between 70 and 200 million in counterfeit currency is out there. That’s so trivial a congressfool can just earmark that much for a home project without review.
The government created unlimited amounts, Trillions,,, right out of thin air. And a dude printing out a few 20s on a color copier is going to bring down the system.

The Obola bill would have to be a $3 bill.
Hillary. Pelosi. Harf. Lewinsky. Wasserman-Schulz. Michelle. Boxer. Feinstein. BHusseinO. Babs Streissand. Boyance. Lady Gags or is it Lady Gaga. Gee, the D party has so many wonderful people of the female persuasion to choose from. . (I vote for Lewinsky She did the most honest job on the list )
MY vote is for Calamity Jane.
A Three Dollar Bill would be appropriate...Queer as...
The twenty dollar bill will become the most non-used currency.

Achievement trumps “diversity”

Somewhat ironic.
