Bernanke wants Andrew Jackson gone from $20 bill
Currency wars are being waged in the Treasury Department.
Secretary Jacob Lew has plans to take Alexander Hamilton off the $10 bill and replace him with a woman.
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke weighed in today and said he’s appalled by Lew’s proposal to drop a man Bernanke calls “the best…economic policymaker in U.S. history.”
Far better: Bernanke goes on to suggest that a woman should replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill.
Me?
I’m with Ben.
