Happy Wednesday! The Gipper soon may be coming to a wallet near you, if a Republican lawmaker has his way.

Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) on Tuesday proposed putting the nation's 40th president on the greenbacks, arguing he deserves the monetary honor.

Well, why not? 0bama’s on my toilet paper.

The least we can do for Reagan is the $50.

We can put Obama on the 3 dollar bill.

Reagan helped draw a generation back to the Founding Fathers though. He was an evangelist for Freedom at a time where it was needed. I don’t object to the change.

"Sam Grant has earned his spot on the $ 50.00 leave him alone"

Roger that. In my book Grant was our greatest General and certainly deserves to stay right where he is. He got it done in our darkest hour.

The ten and the hundred have non-presidents on them, Hamilton on the ten, Franklin on the hundred. Put President Reagan on one of those.

Either that, or put him on the $10,000 in place of Salmon P. Chase. Ha.

Reagan was great; however, he dosen't hold a candle to ANY of the Founding Fathers.

Good. So get the anti-constitutionalists, Grant and Lincoln off.

Huh? Grant was a druken brawler who reintroduced total war to the world - and against what he described as "fellow Americans" - Grant a Lincoln are the models for Obama's federal power grabs.

Good idea. Maybe Reagan can take one of those slots. I'd rather see more Founders.

"I’d rather he be on the $1 bill so that the leftists would have to see him more often."

After Obama finishes devaluing the dollar, the $50 "Ronnie" will replace the $1 bill in most wallets.

I’m a Yankee living in the south, and I don’t think much of Grant either. He had a corrupt administration, so I imagine that Zero will want to support him.

Yeah, I often wondered how Grant made it on the currency so long, if at all.

Given Andrew Jackson’s animosity towards central banking, I’m sure he wouldn’t mind if we replaced him with Reagan on the 20.

I guess my question is, would Mr. Reagan have wanted something like this? I don’t know. I think his humble nature might have objected.
