"Harriet Tubman on a $20 bill? You crazy?" . . . Please come CAPTION Treasury Sec. Steve Mnuchin!!!![]() Steve Mnuchin is saying: "Listen, the fact is that simply putting a woman's picture on money will undermine confidence in our currency. . . . I mean, who will trust it? . . . Will it only be accurate or have value, say, 25 days a month? . . . Then imagine putting a black woman's image on a bill, . . . Well, you might just as well flush it down the toilet. . . . Besides, have you taken a close look at Tubman's face? . . . Geez." ********************************************************************** Above CAPTION base on this spud's exchange with Ayanna Pressley during a hearing of the House Financial Services Committee. DU has a sweet clip: https://www.democraticunderground.com/1017542285
