The Jack Lew signature on every dollar bill if he becomes the Secretary of the Treasury


Jack Lew, President Obama’s reported pick to replace outgoing Treasury secretary Tim Geithner, is known as a no-nonsense backroom negotiator with wonkish tendencies, who is admired on the left and grumbled about on the right.

A lesser-known but extremely pertinent fact about Lew is that he has the world’s worst signature. And pretty soon, that signature could be on every single one of your dollar bills.


I kind of like it...

In June 2006, Lew was named chief operating officer of Citigroup's Alternative Investments unit, a proprietary trading group. The unit he oversaw invested in a hedge fund "that bet on the housing market to collapse."[21]

He showed that Geithner's signature was equally bad, but for the currency he cleaned it up into a neat, legible, and totally different signature. Lew will do the same, I'm sure.

I'll bet he will do what his predecessor did, and come up with a legible signature.

Hostess cupcakes are just terrible for your health.

Yet, somehow, I feel hungry.
