and they TALK about those Cons:
the left is never frikken Satisfied or happy. You give them a $10 then they want a $20
LEAVE our damn money alone for crying out loud
SNIP:
In fairness to them, some of the reason for the upset is righteous. “Alexander Hamilton is not someone that people have a problem with,” said the director of the Women On 20s campaign. Why kick the great man off the currency instead of the far more dubious Andrew Jackson? I couldn’t agree more.
But that’s not the only reason. Some feel that women are being, er, shortchanged:
And then there’s this: the $20 bill is more visible than the $10 bill. As of 2014, there were more than 8.1 billion $20 bills in circulation, compared to 1.9 $10 bills. Of the denominations under $500, only the $50 and the $2 bills circulate less.
Putting a woman on the $10 instead of the $20 means six billion fewer copies of her image in circulation. Ain’t it just like our sexist president to think he can make women happy by giving them less than he gives men? Just because it works that way in the White House, champ, doesn’t mean it has to on the currency.
Other critiques of Treasury’s new plans for the $10 are, shall we say, more nuanced. Because Hamilton bills will remain in circulation for many years to come, he’ll effectively be sharing the $10 with a woman rather than ceding it entirely. And you know what that means. Right: Patriarchy.
ALL of it here:
Everything s a problem Some people unhappy that a woman will be featured on the 10 bill instead of the 20 Hot Air
