I favor putting Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. Andrew Andrew Jackson was against the Federal Reserve, so it seems kind of silly for him to be on the $20 bill. And let's remind everyone that it was Republicans who opposed slavery, and Democrats who supported it. Harriet Tubman was not allowed to vote, but if she had been, she would have voted for Abraham Lincoln, a Republican.

Oh, eff that!
If they insist upon removing Old Hickory, the least they can do is put Spock on our currency, like Canada.

By midday, the councils chair, Valerie Jarrett, and executive director, Tina Tchen, responded, saying they would like to continue the conversation.I think Val-Jay needs some time to drum up support for a Muslim woman. Maybe Mad Mo's 6 year old "wife."

You never know with the newly minted citizens 0bama's allowing to take over our country with.

Well I originally joked they should have put a black woman on the 20, to kill two birds with one stone, but I have no problem with this, it sure beats pretty much all of the other alternatives.

My comment from the other thread;
And how many millions would this cost us? Im for ditching the dollar bill, and just using the coins. A dollar bill last less than a year, the coins last darn near forever, and are not germ and virus ridden pieces of filthy paper.
Im a cheapskate, I admit it! We have to stop throwing money around for senseless reasons like changing the 20 dollar bill, or teaching African men how to wash their weenies after sex. Weve gone insane! We need to go on a severe austerity budget for at least ten years, maybe much longer!

I would make it a point to never tender another $20 bill.
To: grundle
Since Jackson paid off the entire national debt, the only president to do so, it seems appropriate to take his image off the bill now.
I would favor putting Obama on the new trillion-dollar bill.

Tubman would be a good choice, but, I’d rather see Rose Friedman, if they absolutely must put a woman on the $20.

In all seriousness, why don't we concentrate on making the currency stable again.
.... Oh I don't know, maybe by backing it up by some precious metal or something off the wall like that...
instead of worrying about changing the picture on the front!!!

Let’s put Linda Carter on.
Just because.

How about a group portrait: the Republican Presidents who proposed Civil Rights bills that were defeated by Democrats. IIRC, that would be Grant, Harding, and Eisenhower.
To: grundle
This black all the time thing is getting tiresome. There are other people in this country. While Tubman is definitely someone to be admired for her courage, her contribution to this country is minor.
If the object of this is to have diversity we should have Asians and Hispanics also on different denominations of our bills.
If the object is to recognize great contributions to country maybe someone like Henry Ford should be considered.

The funny thing is, if you study history honestly, Jackson did MUCH more to keep the country together than Lincoln, Yes Lincoln fought the civil war etc, etc, etc. But nobody was willing to recognize the South and sooner or later a reunification would have occured.
During the time of Jackson, the north east actually wanted to be reunited with England. What we currently call the mid-west wanted nothing to do with the other parts of the country and actually had more ties to Canada. The South was still wedged between Spanish colonies and already did not trust the North. It was only Jacksons fire and reputation for violence when necessary that kept the country from splitting into three parts. England would have gladly welcomed the north east back into the commonwealth. It is hard to imagine the country ever being reassembled into one union again.
But of course actual accomplishment has nothing to do with the fools pushing this issue.
