Money, Money, Money
So, I realize that some old actor with Alzheimer's died this week and I did appreciate not having to go to work yesterday, but this is going too far. I just saw an interview with someone wanting to put Reagan onto the $10 bill. I think it is bad enough that the national airport is already named after him, but now we are going to take Hamilton off of the $10! Doesn't it make sense for Hamilton to be there since he was the one pushing for a National bank. The guy went onto argue that it was not too soon to consider putting Reagan on the money. He argued that within a year of their deaths both FDR and Kennedy were put on the currency. Now there is a good reason for both of those since FDR was president for 4 terms and also was president during WWII. And Kennedy was assassinated so that sort of puts him in a different category. Reagan just doesn't fall into that category, and don't you dare tell me that he ended the Cold War...
