The Obama administration must have a lot of time on it’s hands because it’s not only spending your money, it’s planning on changing how it looks.
Feeling like it hasn’t done enough to pander to liberals obsessed with identity politics, the Department of the Treasury has declared that it is considering making some major changes to the $10 and $20 bills. Secretary Jack Lew made an official announcement just this week, revealing what the Department plans to do to our money.
Apparently, the Treasury is getting ready to boot Andrew Jackson off the $20 bill and replace him with a women who is supposed to represent the struggle for “racial equality.” Although it was widely speculated that Rosa Parks was the woman in question, the final selection of the Department was Harriet Tubman, the beloved abolitionist and folk hero.
As for the $10 bill, Alexander Hamilton will be joined by a strange, mural-like portrait of various women involved with the women’s suffrage movement on the back. Prominent figures like Susan B. Anthony will reportedly be present, but considering the limited space, it will probably be hard to give each woman the distinguishing features necessary to tell them apart.
Naturally, the changes sparked a huge debate over whether they were appropriate or even necessary. While commentators on both sides generally agreed that Tubman is deserving of being commemorated on our currency, conservatives questioned both the wisdom and taste of bumping Jackson off the $20 bill to do so.

Or a pic of me on your mom !
So did alot of others on the underground railroad. Why is she the only one who gets credit?????
Ok, first off, I really don’t give a rat’s @$$ who’s face is on our money as long as it doesn’t decrease the value of it. Also honestly, I never cared for Andrew Jackson as a person or a president. But let’s face the reality of this whole fiasco:
You aren’t changing the $20 bill because you’re actually passionate about history or Harriet Tubman or know anything about her beyond what you saw in some picture book/cartoon in elementary school. You just want to get a rise out of the people who are focused on what actually needs changed in this country so you can silence them by calling them bigots. Of the dozens of things wrong with this country right now, you decide to raise hell over who’s face is on a piece of paper in an attempt to shut up someone who doesn’t agree with you about something else entirely. I got to stop asking how low these people can sink. They’re taking it as a challenge.
But if race were that important to me, which it’s not, I’d say put Frederick Douglass on a bill. Everyone else on our money is a major political figure. First African American congressman (or congresswoman is you care enough to research that) wouldn’t break suit. Harriet Tubman from a historical perspective is more of a folk tale like Daniel Boone or Paul Revere. Real people with major historical accomplishments, but not major government figures like Hamilton, Washington, and Franklin. That just doesn’t really say “monetary value”.
What’s the cost to change it
I would rather see someone who brought peace and unity. And actually did it on his own.
Harriet Tubman (born Araminta Ross; c. 1822[1] – March 10, 1913) was an African-Americanabolitionist, humanitarian, and, during the American Civil War, a Union spy. Born into slavery, Tubman escaped and subsequently made some thirteen missions to rescue approximately seventy enslaved families and friends,[2] using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as theUnderground Railroad. She later helped abolitionistJohn Brown recruit men for his raid on Harpers Ferry, and in the post-war era was an active participant in the struggle for women’s suffrage.
Born a slave in Dorchester County, Maryland, Tubman was beaten and whipped by her various masters as a child. Early in life, she suffered a traumatic head wound when an irate slave owner threw a heavy metal weight intending to hit another slave and hit her instead. The injury caused dizziness, pain, and spells of hypersomnia, which occurred throughout her life. She was a devout Christian and experienced strange visions and vivid dreams, which she ascribed to premonitions from God.
