As an Op-Ed in this section notes, Wednesday is Women’s Equality Day, marking 95 years since the long-disenfranchised majority won the right to vote. It also could and should have been a day to celebrate the future placement of a prominent woman on the $20 bill, displacing the notoriously slaveholding, Indian-killing Andrew Jackson.
It was not to be — because U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew chose instead to boot the great Alexander Hamilton from the $10, before backtracking into a cockamamie plan to have a woman and Hamilton share that bill.
As the country has awakened to the foolishness of sidelining Hamilton — the most important New Yorker, the founder of modern American capitalism, an abolitionist to boot — Lew has pressed a lame persuasion campaign through invitation-only, closed-door meetings.

We have a winner.
Woman on $20?
Will Achmed down at the Quickee Mart refuse to accept it?
Yeah sure. Get rid of the only guy to balance the budget and get rid of the federal reserve.
Given our fiscal policies, Robert Mugabe should be considered a replacement on the $20.
WoW!
That looks wonderful :-)
Let me be the first to propose Trump for the $1 Gazillion dollar bill.

I heard "they ran through the briars And they ran through the brambles And they ran through the bushes Where the rabbit couldn't go They ran so fast That the hounds couldn't catch 'em On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico (One-two, hup-two-three-four)"
And I have a brand new twenty dollar bill with you-know-who on the front for an additional contribution to free republic which I will donate in honor of the freeper who posts the complete song.
In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in a town in New Orleans
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin’
There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they begin to runnin’
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
(One-two-three, with a-one-two-three)
We looked down the river
(Hut-two)
And we see’d the British come
(Three-four)
And there must have been a hundred of ‘em
(Hut-two)
Beatin’ on the drums
(Three-four)
They stepped so high
(Hut-two)
And they made their bugles ring
(Three-four)
We stood beside our cotton bales
(Hut-two)
And didn’t say a thing
(Two-three-four)
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin’
There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they begin to runnin’
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Old Hickory said we could take ‘em by surprise
(One-hut, two-three-four)
If we didn’t fire our muskets
(One-hut, two-three-four)
‘Till we looked ‘em in the eye
(One-hut, two-three-four)
We held our fire
(Hut, two-three-four)
‘Till we see’d their faces well
Then we opened up our squirrel guns
And really gave ‘em - well we
Fired our guns and the British kept a-comin’
There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they begin to runnin’
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Yeah, they ran through the briars
(One-hup-two)
And they ran through the brambles
(Hup-two-three-four)
And they ran through the bushes
(Hup-two)
Where a rabbit couldn’t go
(Hup-two-three-four)
They ran so fast
(Hup-two)
That the hounds couldn’t catch ‘em
(One-two-three-four)
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
(One-two, hup-two-three-four)
We fired our cannon ‘til the barrel melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin’
There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they begin to runnin’
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Yeah, they ran through the briars
(Hup-one-two)
And they ran through the brambles
(One-two-three-four)
And they ran through the bushes
(Hup-two)
Where a rabbit couldn’t go
(Hup-two-three-four)
They ran so fast
(Hup-two)
That the hounds couldn’t catch ‘em
(One-two-three-four)
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
(One-two, hup-two-three-four)
Hut-two-three-four
Sound off, three-four
Hut-two-three-four
Sound off, three-four
Hut-two-three-four
Hut-two-three-four.
A really stupid idea. Our money is just fine, only problem we do not have enough money.

.... Heck ..... I’m surprised they don’t consider Xi Jinping for a bill .... after all our own illustrious President went and begged .... (who knows what other favors he did) .... Comrade Xi Jinping to cover America’s debt while we keep printing trillions of soon to be useless dollars for our multiple Quantitative Easings.
Please Mr. Custer, I don’t wanna go...
Look at them durned Injuns
They’re runnin’ around like a bunch of wild Indians-heh, heh, heh
Nah, this ain’t no time for jokin’.
Pretty much - when a loaf of bread is $20, $50, etc.
Jackson, the guy who called the central bank a “nest of vipers” and went after them.
No, removing him from a central bank note isn’t transparent at all.
I do remember the song but as I just came back, I see someone got it.
America sure has a severe case of the dumbschitz since Obonzo came to power....................... He’s gotta be remembered for some accomplishment. I always wondered why this Nation never put Sitting Bull or any other famous native American on it’s paper money as a tribute to the native Americans who first discovered this land. How thoughtless. They even took one off the nickel and stopped producing the brass $1.
In honor of my fellow freeper, Mr. rockrr, I, scottiemom, am giving with a happy heart that twenty of which I spoke, embellished with the portrait of President Andrew Jackson, one of the most colorful men in the history of this country.
Because it isn't quite the same color as Monopoly Money yet.
