NC congressman wants Ronald Reagan put on $50 bill

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 require the U.S Treasury
to replace former President Ulysses S. Grant on the bill.

McHenry announced his bill Tuesday, and 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 accused McHenry of pandering to voters with the bill instead of
focusing his work on the bad economy.

That's a good joke.

Reagan raised taxes six times and tripled the national debt. Not exactly a tea bagger's dream.

Just 6 times? Must be why KK sees him as a hero.

depends how you look at it. more americans grew wealthy during that period than any other since the industrial age. reganomics wasn't about excessive debt. one has nothing to do with the other. it was about providing incentives to people with money so they would invest and greate jobs. in the process, allowing there money/investments to benefit others

6 ... but that is ONLY a guess.

And how many minimum wage jobs were created?[/quote] considering he brought unemployment for near 10% down to 5, i'd say quite a few
