I don’t mind changing the portraits on our currency. Nothing is set in stone. Many other countries use their currency to honor artists and monuments so I don’t think we need to have presidents, politicians or Founding Fathers on our currency. The only danger, to me, is the embarrassment that comes when you have political correctness run amok. If they go too far in finding transgender lesbian Marxists to put on the currency, its going to be yet another sign of decline. But putting Tubman on doesn’t bother me much.

I would have no objection to Jackson being removed if he were replaced with someone of equal or greater historical significance. There are probably at least a thousand political figures, military commanders, industrialists, scientists, and authors who are more important to our nation's history and heritage than Harriet Tubman. She's there in their place as a posthumous affirmative action hire.

Honestly, people, including Freepers, really need to understand that there is no decline - we've already reached the bottom. What once was the United States of America is now a corpse. What you are seeing now is not decline - one cannot decline farther than being dead - what you are seeing now is the decay of the corpse. When a body dies, at first, it looks like a living body, then slowly pieces begin to rot and liquify and the whole thing begins to stink. We are in the rotting stage.

The distinction is important because too many people are in holding mode, still clinging to the same old attitudes and tactics that failed to prevent death in the first place, and resisting recognition of the current reality, which leads to resistance to the logical next steps. Once the patient has died, you don't continue to administer anti-biotics and go looking for yet another blanket to get him warm - you say "Oh crap he's dead" and you bury him and move on.

The USA is dead. Either we do what we need to do to make another one, or we accept that it is gone. No more of this "Weekend at Bernie's" nonsense.
