A move is afoot to replace Ulysses S. Grant's portrait on the $50 with Reagan's portrait. Should it be done?Congressman Patrick McHenry wants Ronald Reagan's face put on $50 bill
Grant won the Civil War; Ronnie was in office when the USSR and communism imploded… not quite the same thing. :-
Also, while I agree with his politics, I think it might set a dangerous precedent to have politicians on bills when they are so close to current politics. Having Kennedy on a rarely-used coin is one thing, but Reagan on a major bill is cutting it too close.
Indeed and the reasons are quite different… the assassination issue along with the whole Camelot thing….
While I think Reagan was a great president I don't think he has been gone long enough yet for his legacy to really be known. Ask me again in twenty years and I may change my mind.
well i think that anyone would be better than grant…at least then my uncle will stop defacing federal property by wiritting linclons (insert name of a female dog in heat) on it
Grant's accomplishments are greater than those of Regan. It's far more likely that communism would have imploded without Regan than the North would have won the Civil War–preserving the Union–without Grant.Grant doesn't merit having his portrait on the $50.00 bill for the the accomplishments of his presidency, but he does for his role as a general in the Civil War. One need not have been president to merit having his portrait on US currency, as witness Franklin and Hamilton.

yeah and HAD Joseph E Johnston NOT been a wimp and had came from Jackson, MS, and trapped him between Pembertion and himself the war might have swong in a differnet way ahd if he lived he would have been a HUGE discrase so he does not realy need it. And the last time i check Nancy regan did not own slaves while Mrs. Grant did, and Ron did not let Willam T. Sherman RAPE AND PILLAGE the south, OH and Ron was NOT a racist
