“And whats wrong with his delightfully modest home in Gettysburg?!”
Or his presidential library in Abilene.
It is long past time we stopped spending taxpayer money on the worship and glorification of our former presidents, particularly the recent ones. Let them fade away after serving in office. They are supposed to be elected servants of the public, not nobility.
I say take images of presidents off the coinage and money too. Return our circulating coinage and currency to images of lady liberty, our national parks, or great moments in our history (such as flag raising on Iwo Jima, the British surrender at Yorktown, or the first man on the moon) instead of honoring dead presidents.
Excellent proposals.
I’ll agree with your first point - we need to stop these insane monuments to lousy modern presidents. At least Ike was a great man! If he’s already got two museums in his honor (and I love the Gettysburg home)let’s quit now.
I will know that the next President (if there is one) “gets it” when he abolishes the STFU Speech and sends Congress written messages. And I agree that coins should show Liberty, not Presidents.
And Air Force One should be sold on eBay. There is no reason for the President to have an airplane. If a President wants to fly, let him buy a ticket.
Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!
