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?

I can think of a few reason that have nothing to do directly with Reagan.

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

Sam Grant has earned his spot on the $ 50.00 leave him alone, put Ronnie on the new $ 500.00 that OBozo will be issuing very soon.

No, Grant should not be replaced on the $50 bill. His Presidency aside, Grant saved The Union. And without Grant there'd be no PRESIDENT Obama, or even an MLK Jr.(1)

On the downside, due to General Grant beating Lee we have Jesse Jackson and Rev Al runnin' around hustling millions from Corps and the Gubmint. /s

So leave Grant alone. Pretty soon we'll need a $200 Bill to by bread anyway. Put Reagan on the new bill.

(1) I lived in Chi when MLK did his marching there in Marquette Park. He wasn't the 'peaceful protester' he's cracked up to be and his Halo ain't so shiny. In every march, behind all the Reverends where the gang bangers, and trouble always ensued.

I’d rather have Reagan on the $20 than the $50.

I disagree. I think only the Founders should remain on our money - and that includes getting Lincoln, JFK, FDR, and Grant off of our money and replace them with John Jay, John Adams, Samuel Adams, and Crispus Attucks.

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

"I think only the Founders should remain on our money - and that includes getting Lincoln, JFK, FDR, and Grant off of our money and replace them with John Jay, John Adams, Samuel Adams, and Crispus Attucks."

The Founders I'm afraid would be appalled by your suggestion. They wanted a nation of laws, not of men. And that is why they eschewed political figures on the money in favor of symbols of liberty and freedom and the occasional Indian or Buffalo.
