That way, when China decides to cash in on the trillions in our national debt that they currently hold, everyone will be reminded why.

Put Him on something important like the 1000 bill. Nobody will have
to ever look at it.

2. They should put Bush's picture on the yuan.
He has done so much to help China. Borrowing massive amounts of money from China gives them lots of power over us. Thanks Bush, and all the borrow and spend republicans.

4. Put Reagan on the new 30-year bond because its return shows
the end of fiscal responsibility. Remember that it was retired during the Clinton years of bigger and bigger surpluses, and it was thought then that it would never be needed again. Then came Bush and kill-the-beast deficit spending that he picked up from the Reagan years. Give credit where credit is due, so to speak.

13. I will deface every bill with his face on it.
I'll even go to the bank and withdraw stacks of those bills just to deface them and put them back into circulation.

14. I read a LTTE last year
that suggested we put Reagan's picture on the thousand (or higher)dollar bill, that way only the people who Reagan helped the most and those that love him the most will be the ones to see his mug on their $$ and the rest of us will be spared.
