To Honor Harriet Tubman, Ben Carson Suggests Something So Stupid Fox
News Was Shocked

Perhaps trying to outdo Donald Trump’s “7/11” comment from yesterday, in
an interview with FOX Business’s Neil Cavuto, failed presidential
candidate Ben Carson made a pretty ridiculous statement involving
Harriet Tubman and a piece of money that is no longer in use.

Carson first argued that Andrew Jackson was an incredible and admirable
US president. There has been talk recently of replacing Jackson, whose
picture resides on the $20 bill, with Harriet Tubman. As if it’s not
bad enough that Carson is defending a president who is known to have
been a supporter of both slavery and the deportation of Cherokees on the
Trail of Tears, he went on to say that Harriet Tubman does not belong on
the $20 bill in place of Jackson. He then suggested that perhaps she
could have a place on the $2 bill.

The $2 bill was last issued in 2003. Has Carson been napping for the
last 13 years and missed that?

The more I hear from the Republican wannabes and former wannabes, the
more I fear for the future of this country. What the hell is the matter
with Carson? And Ted Cruz and Bobby Jindal sound even crazier. Carson
comes across like a male Sarah Palin.

I still use $2 bills for stuff. The bank will sell you all you want. I
always give the pizza guy a couple. The bank has them in brand new
packs of $200.
I suppose if you were going put a woman on a two, you should replace
Jefferson with Sally Hemings.

Paper money needs presidents. Otherwise the statement "I want lots of
portraits of dead presidents" dies an ignoble death.

People who use that phrase prefer bill without a president anyway.
