why it matters who gets put on the 20 dollar bill. It's just money.

A black woman? Fine. Why not?

Anyone from Harriet Tubman to Diana Ross is fine with me. I'd love to hear from our conservative brethren bold enough to take a clear stand on this non-issue. Of course, that leaves out AA.

Best tweets I've read are "only Presidents deserve to be on bills"... Franklin and Hamilton are Presidents I guess.

In other countries I read that scientists, authors and such are put on bills.


I do love the tubman thing though. She was a badass.

I disagree with that reasoning, that only opportunistic and lucky politicians should be on paper money.

I think BRAVE, honorable Americans who represent Mankind's highest morals and ideals deserve their actions to be promoted too, even if they happen to be Black and female. Is that a minority opinion?

Actually it was the 3/5 compromise not the 3/4.

As fast as mine get away from me, I think Jesse Owens being on them would make more sense.

I'd rather them just create a $25 dollar and put her on that.

Why? Jackson should be off. Period.

Don't forget Salmon P. Chase on the $10,000 bill.

The people who don't want their $20's can send them this way.

I couldn't care less, though if we are going to get into the whole thing about Jackson needing to be off, you might want to take a closer look at Grant's background.

The people who are against it are those who are sick of leftist political correctness but are irresponsible in their method to counter that pc movement. I'm certainly one of those who are sick of regressive political correctness, but I also understand you have to pick your battles. Obviously Tubman was a bad ass who deserves to be on the 20. This is a perfect example of the difference between the Trump folk and the non Trump folk when it relates to regressive political correctness. Notice that Trump chose to continue the battle, because a huge chunk of his supporters are those who are angry about political correctness, but they have no idea how to channel that anger. They just troll everything.

I was kind of hoping for Abigail Adams in the women-on-money sweepstakes, but she never got out of the gate. Kind of like the 2016 Braves.

Treasury secretary announced it yesterday. It will be Tubman on the 20 on 2020 (centennial anniversary of women's rights)

And the Braves will also be world champs in 2020. Big year. I can hardly wait for the Braves to visit President Trump at the White House.

Not being an Andrew Jackson fan, I'm cool with this. Getting rid of the racist Dem and replacing him with a gun-toting R seems kinda cool.

He did participate in at least one duel. Was hit, survived, and carried the bullet inside him til the day he died.

And he won the duel because he moved the pocket on his shirt
