Reporting from Washington — Ronald Reagan is honored by, among other things, an airport, a freeway, an aircraft carrier and — ironically for a critic of big government — one of the biggest federal buildings in Washington.

Now, some of the late president’s admirers are launching a new effort to add another honor: printing his likeness on a $50 bill in place of Ulysses S. Grant’s.

I’m pretty sure the GOP wouldn’t even exist anymore if Ronald Reagan never happened.  That’s how deep this obsession is.  But anyway, let’s talk about this.  You want to replace the guy who led the Union Army to victory during the Civil War, literally SAVING America, with the star of Bedtime for Bonzo?

Sounds fine, sure.
