RALEIGH, N.C. – A U.S. congressman from North Carolina wants the $50 bill redrawn to feature the face of former President Ronald Reagan.
Republican Rep. Patrick McHenry wants Congress to tell the U.S Treasury to replace former President Ulysses S. Grant on the bill. McHenry announced his bill Tuesday. He has 13 Republican co-sponsors.
Grant was a Union general during the Civil War who led the North to victory and later became the nation's 18th president.
McHenry said Reagan transformed the nation's political and economic thinking and argued that "every generation needs its own heroes."
One of McHenry's Republican primary opponents, Scott Keadle, said he admires Reagan, too. But he accused McHenry of pandering to voters with the bill instead of focusing his work on the bad economy.
OK what do you think of this idea?
Other then it's probably not good timing I think it is a good idea.
SAVE THE EARTH
It's the only Planet that has chocolate.
I always go with whatever the most cost efficient solution is to anything Government related.
Doesn't matter to me who is on money. Doesn't mean you were a good President or a bad President or some guy who banged whores for years in France like Franklin. 50 bucks is 50 bucks.
On a side note, I see no real reason for paper money anyways (or coins for that matter). I never carry cash, anymore.
the hit and run is as good as any religion around this time of year . . .

he's from Carolina. it's just long-standing, repressed rage at Yankees. Besides Reagan probably played a dashing southerner in a couple movies..
