Four of five Americans do not want Ronald Reagan to replace Ulysses Grant on the $50 bill. This survey shows the common sense of the masses. This is not about Mr. Reagan....its about tradition and history.
There is a generation of Republican politicians who cannot utter a sentence without wistful rememberences of Mr. Reagan, who is certainly a significant historical figure. In 25 or 30 years , if there are still parties then, you will see the same effort mounted by wistful Democrats wanting to memorialize President Obama.
Let's stick with history. Who knows, the presence of a figure on a bill might prompt someone of the younger generation to ask who it is and learn about Grant, Hamilton, Jackson, Lincoln, Washington or Franklin.
Grant Whomps Reagan For Fifty

President Grant may have helped save the Union for & from the Southern Male Republicans. But I believe if we need to put a Republican on the Fifty Dollar bill it should be the 'bully' man himself. Teddy Roosevelt, the father of the modern environmental movement.
