A woman will appear on redesigned $10 bill in 2020. Who will it be?

[Socrates1]

seriously don't suggest it or they will.

Your right , just when you think they cant get any nutter , surprise ! :lamo eek:

 

[Socrates1]

It actually occurred to me. We could have both worlds and satisfy the men AND women. :2razz:

And those worlds way , way out there too ! :lamo

If there has to be a woman, and Clinton does win the presidency, it should probably be her. Regardless of how any person feels about her, being the first female President seems like a pretty valid argument when deciding what woman should be on our currency.

they should put a women on there with some moral ethics about them.

Why hold women to standards to which we never hold men? If morals were a relevant criterion, then Andrew Jackson wouldn't have been on the $20 in the first place.

Because none of them have been president.

All the so called historical women have been women of social historical relevance.

So if H. Clinton wins the election, your vote is for her to be on the bill?

 

[Jredbaron96]

Elanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, Susan B Anthony, Harriet Tubman. There are a lot of good choices.

Hell no. There are way better choices than to put Hillary on the bill.

 

[Slyfox696]

You're right, let's go down the list of all our female Presidents:











Whew, that was exhausting.

It doesn't have to be a female president on the bill.

Yep, like octomom.

 

[Slyfox696]

No, it doesn't. But it seems like there are very few accomplishments which would be greater and more remembered than being the leader of the free world, wouldn't you say?

 

[TheGoverness]

Sure, but regardless I'd rather have someone like Susan B. Anthony or Harriett Tubman on the bill than Clinton; a woman with more integrity.

 

[Fiddytree]

The obvious choices are Susan B Anthony, Eleanor Roosevelt, Sojourner Truth, and Harriet Tubman..

 

[Fiddytree]

Sure, but regardless I'd rather have someone like Susan B. Anthony or Harriett Tubman on the bill than Clinton; a woman with more integrity.

As an aside, Anthony was hardly the moral fiber of the suffrage movement.

 

[TheGoverness]

Agreed.

 

[Slyfox696]

They were both blatant law breakers. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that women shouldn't vote or that black people should be held as slaves (or even that I disagree with their actions), nor am I saying I would trust Hillary Clinton with anything more valuable than a Double Bubble, but it morals/integrity generally tend to be more in the eye of the beholder and, at the end of the day, both Anthony and Tubman were flagrant law breakers.

The obvious choices are Susan B Anthony, Eleanor Roosevelt, Sojourner Truth, and Harriet Tubman..

The obvious choice would be Clinton, if she were elected.

 

[PIPEWRENCH]

I believe that plan is no longer likely:

Let's Get It Done: Put a Woman on the Front of the $10 Bill Now!

You could be right. Ever branch of our government has become so wishy washy it is sad.

 

[PIPEWRENCH]

:lol: You have nowhere to go with your point, such as it was, so you try and turn it around and steer the focus back on me asking why I approve, as if I'm actively pushing for it. Transparent, but nicely so. :lol:

Anyway, ok, I get it, you don't have a reason not to. Other than maybe "because that's the way we've always done it".

Then again, you do specifically say it's "wrong". Would you care to expand on that?

Changing direction (for everybody, not just you): Ideally, what *I* would like to see is removing everybody from our bills. Put national symbols on them instead. We could have the Liberty Bell on one bill, Independence Hall on another, the Declaration of Independence on another, the Statue of Liberty on another, a bald eagle on another, Monica's blue dress on still another.

Ok, that last one was a joke, but the rest I would be fully in favor of.

Why not the blue dress. It is his legacy.:lol:

 

[Erod]

The obvious choice would be Clinton, if she were elected.

Yes, let's put the most vile, corrupt, lying, enabling, screeching bitch in American history on our money. That's not a woman. That's a calculated and conniving robot.

I'd be fine with Harriet Tubman, Abigail Adams, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Susan B. Anthony, Pocohontas...

However, the PERSON most deserving in my mind that needs to be commemorated is Frederick Douglass. Not nearly enough is said and written about that great American.

 

[Skeptic Bob]

Harriett Tubman. She was a total badass.

 

[radcen]

No, it doesn't. But it seems like there are very few accomplishments which would be greater and more remembered than being the leader of the free world, wouldn't you say?

Wouldn't it be wise to at least see *how* she performs as President first, before honoring her with what would essentially be a permanent memorial?

Crazy thoughts, I know. :shrug:

I'll throw in a nod for Jeanette Rankins...first woman elected to congress.

I would oppose her solely for the fact that she voted against declaring war on Japan after the Pearl Harbor attack*. Plus, IIRC, she only served two terms, split by 25-ish years. Overall, her tenure was quite unremarkable. Just being first at something, in and of itself is not an accomplishment worthy of something that is essentially a high-profile and permanent memorial.

*- Yes, she voted against entry into WW1 as well, and was a devoted pacifist, but that one is not as egregious to me.

Who is your pick?
Has a person already been picked?
Should it be Hillary if elected to president?
Should it be put to a vote by the people?

A joke from Good Morning America was Rosa Parks on the back of the bill. OUCH.

I don't like Hillary but I would be OK with her on the 10 dollar bill if she indeed became the first woman president.
I would be OK with multiple women featured on the 10 dollar bill the way we did with the quarters.

With all the women in the history of this country that have and had integrity and that had actually done something for the country, why would you bring up Hillary? I am just curious.

That might be offensive to some people to put monuments on the money.

Are you saying if Clinton wins, she should be immediately killed to be put on the money?

There are no living people on money and shouldn't be.
