Reagan's Face On The $50 Bill? Someone Says, "Yes!"

Well well well....
You know, I was going to talk about that assclown Jim Bunning, Repug Senator from Kentucky, who stalled unemployment benefits for AMERICAN WORKERS who needed it (either because he was pissed about not being helped in a re-election bid (Moot, since he's now retiring; probably because of that), he missed a sports event and was pissed over THAT, or he's just a dick. I'm leaning toward the last one).

But, no, I'm not going there. Yet.

Today, I bring you news of yet another Repug stooge, who has a bunch of free time, since all other problems with the country are now fixed.

Rep. Patrick McHenry, Repug from North Carolina, wants to put Ronald Reagan's face on the $50 dollar bill.
Yep, Take Grant (a General during the Civil War, and ACTUAL war hero) OFF, and put Ronnie (Who mainly played military types in movies, and was responsible for the LARGEST DEFICIT WE HAD UP UNTIL THAT POINT) ON.

Mc.Henry written statement, “Every generation needs its own heroes; one decade into the 21st century, it’s time to honor the last great president of the 20th and give President Reagan a place beside Presidents Roosevelt and Kennedy.”

Funny, I thought Clinton (Jobs, revenue surplus, EVERYONE AROUND THE WORLD BASICALLY LIKED US) was the "Last great President of the 20th Century".

The Repugs tried this before, by the way....when they controlled Congress in 2005, in fact. But, it died in the House Financial Services Committee.

While I might not see an actual $50 in my wallet anytime soon, I still say, "Knock it the Hell off, and work on REAL issues!"
