Harriet Tubman and the Sabotaging of the New $20 Bill

Maybe arguments condoning the delays of the new $20 bill would have a shred of validity if Mnuchin's claims had any truth. What he is saying is that the security enhancements for the $20 will be different than those that will be used for the $10 and $50. Why would less counterfeited bills have a higher priority for security upgrades? Practice?

The introduction of the new $20 bill was planned for the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment which gave women the right to vote. Hint: That was one reason a woman was going to be featured on the new $20.

Mnuchin claimed that there was much more work to do on the artwork and design of the new $20, which turned out to be just BS. At one point he said that not even a portrait had been decided on. Yet everything was already planned, designed, and on track for the 2020 rollout.

Don't give us BS about political correctness and how Jackson was a war hero. To many, he was a genocidal racist and it is long past time to acknowledge our history. We know why Trump and Mnuchin are delaying the rollout, and their past and present words and actions speak loudly and clearly as to what those reasons are.
