The US Treasury is going to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill to replace Andrew Jackson, the slave-owning president who is one of the founders of the Democrat Party. Yawn. The back of the $10 and $5 bills are also getting a makeover. One will have scenes of big events that took place at the Lincoln Memorial like when Marion Anderson sang there at the behest of Eleanor Roosevelt. The other will have pictures of women who fought for the right to vote. Yawn again.
Will our government ever get to the point at which it decides that spending time and money on pictures from history is not really the best way for the government to go. How much will it cost to replace Democrat slave owner Jackson with the more politically correct Tubman? Remember, there are millions of machines around the country that accept currency and each will need to be modified to take the new bills. Must all that cost be borne just for a bit more political correctness?
I guess I shouldn't be too bothered by the choices made by president Obama and his people made for the currency. I guess we're lucky he didn't put Fidel Castro on the $50 bill.
