BS: Should Reagan be on the $50 Bill???

Well, well, well...

Thos whacky Repubs are at it again... Seems they are not content with having National Airport renamed Reagon National but now they want to take and stick Ron's picture on the $50 bill!!!

Hey, quit laughin'... This is true... Congressional Repubs are trying to get a bill thru Congress to do exactly that...

Okay, I'll be the first to admit that Ulyssis S. Grant's picture shouldn't be on anything other than maybe a, ahhhhhhh, whiskey bottle but what is this fascination with Reagan??? Other than run our economy into a ditch what did he do to be on any bill that now exists???

I mean, if they wanta start printin' up an $80 bill with Ron's puss on it then fine... That would make sense to me seein' as anyone who thinks he was some great president has an IQ hovering in the 80 range...

So, what do ya'll think???

I agree with Ebbie...but then, under the pretext of cutting taxes he came up with the largest increase increase in history until then -- and taught presidents and congressmen that if you say it often enough people will believe it's true (Goebbels taught him that).

They also want to build a shrine to him on the Mall between the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial. He is considered the Father of Modern Conservatism, after all. Every Republican politician from McCain to Palin to Tom Delay and Rush Limbaugh has proclaimed him a god.

I wouldn't use them. To this day there are Cherokee who refuse to use $20 bills because Andrew Jackson is on them. Merchants in some areas know to get only tens from the bank to make change with.

Put Reagan on the thouasand dollar bill in a group portrait with Maggie Thatcher.

And lay of Grant- truth be told, there was a great deal of civil rights and other beneficial legislation passed during his administration.
Ya wanna pick on a president for uselessness, try Fillmore or Polk or the second Harrison.

Aaauuuggghhh!

First they rename the airport after him, thereby delivering a slap in the face to the air traffic controllers, whom he fired when they struck for better working conditions. There are those of us who STILL refuse to use that name for the airport --"National" is plenty good enough.   

Then they name a big ugly Federal office building after him.

Now they're talking about a monument on the Mall. Jeez.

That's more than enough, thank you very much!

Hell, Ronnie wasn't even that good and actor.

But then, the writers may have been partly responsible for that.
Clark Gable:
"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!"

Arnold Schwarzenegger:
"I'll be back!"

Clint Eastwood:
"Go ahead, punk! Make my day!"

Ronnie:
"C'mon, Bonzo. Go on the paper, now."

Reagan's picture should appear on nasty letters from the IRS that demand penalties and interest and unwarrented, past due taxes.

This bill proposal is being sponsored by the GOP Congressman for my county, the weasely Patrick McHenry. And though his GOP opponents in the upcoming primary feel Reagan is deserving of such an honor, they think this bill is a moronic idea, and they he should be thinking more about how to get jobs back in the county instead of worrying about pictures on big bills that most people are here never see.

That's why I say that Nixon should be put on the $5 bill. Hell, or even the $1 bill. That way we'd get to see him all the time. ;-)

No, he should be on the Treasury bill (assuming that such things actually get printed any more).

I cannot take a movie star seriously in any capacity, even as a movie star. However, he may fairly taken as a symbol for the vermin who crawled into Washington with him, and they have an economic achievement to their credit that will long be remembered. To the chief maxim of businesspeople before him -- business is best when fools can borrow -- he added a new one, perhaps a corollary: You can combine low unemployment with low inflation by borrowing from foreigners. When the full consequences of that folly are realized, his name will be attached to them, and cursed.
