$20

Via my friend Bill Katz at Urgent Agenda and Breitbart:

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew is expected to announce this week that Alexander Hamilton’s face will remain on the front of the $10 bill and a woman will replace Andrew Jackson on the face of the $20 bill, a senior government source told CNN on Saturday.Lew announced last summer that he was considering redesigning the $10 bill to include the portrait of a woman. The decision to make the historic change at the expense of Hamilton drew angry rebukes from fans of the former Treasury Secretary. The pro-Hamilton movement gained steam after the smash success of the hip-hop Broadway musical about his life this year.

The man was despicable, vile, no good, both as a person and as a president. He politicize the federal government like no president before, made war on the Native Americans, and crashed the economy via the Specie Circular. Sorry old boy, but Nicholas Biddle was right and you were wrong. I've never read Dickens but I understand the phrase 'not worth a dollar' is something of a running gag in some of his books.

Honestly, Jackson's reputation baffles me. Methinks this has something to do with Arthur Schlesinger (Kennedy court historian) and his unreadable work of political science about Jackson. Schlesinger actually attempted to argue that Jackson was the last of the Founding Fathers.

And I'm the greatest drag-queen in Bridgewater, NJ.

Any-who, Alexander Hamilton is easily one of the greatest Americans who was never president, like George Marshall, John Marshall, Bill Parcells....Where was I? Oh yeah. Eleanor Roosevelt seems right for the $20, there is gravitas there.

Why not?
