Why is it with the Reaganauts? Are they mentally ill? They have never snapped out of the fugue they were in during the 1980s.
Reagan on $50 bill not for Grant-ed; Southern Ohioans battle Congress to save face for native son
A better choice for the $50 bill would be Franklin D. Roosevelt, the man whom -- as Gore Vidal said -- "For better or worse," saved capitalism. After all, he was Reagan's hero, and when the right wingnuts tried to get FDR booted of the ten cent piece, Nancy Reagan stepped in and made sure Dutch's hero remained on the humble dime.
P.S. You never saw Theodore Roosevelt on anything as he was opposed to having people commemorated on coinage (which he took an interest in). It wasn't until the Taft Presidency that the first person, Abraham Lincoln, debuted on the penny.
