Forget Statues, let's Fight over the $20

Via Hot Air, we did not know this:

In an interview with CNBC Thursday, Mnuchin would not commit to following through on Obama’s scheduled changes. These included moving Jackson to the back of the $20, adding Tubman on the front, featuring leaders of the suffrage movement on the $10 bill and depicting historic civil rights events at the Lincoln Memorial on the $5 bill.

Hot Air concludes:

Traditionally, such image changes are made to the currency only to counter increasingly sophisticated counterfeiting efforts. For some reason, many people suspected that Obama’s planned final year currency changes were tied to something other than fake money.

Actually we are on record here supporting the removal of Jackson from the $20. He was a horrible president who wrecked the economy via his war on the Second Bank of the United States and the Specie Circular. Don't get me started on the Indian Removal Act. We're not generally sympathetic to Native American whining, but they're absolutely right on that one.

We'd put Reagan on the $20.

Go back and read what  Barry was going to put on the money. Civil Rights rallies. Now, well meaning reader(s) will ask, 'Stroock, you racist. What's wrong with that?'

Well, Barry was trying to take the great men off the currency, you know, Hamilton, Lincoln and such.

Currency tells our history and Barry was trying to rewrite that history in his preferred image.
