<p>[QUOTE="justndav76, post: 835129, member: 17428"]Well I am certainly not a Republican, very much a Democrat to be honest, I dont know exactly how I feel about Reagan being on a Federal Reserve Note. He did certainly do some wonderful things related to U.S. Foreign Policy when working with Gorbechav and he deserves a lot of credit for that. However, his economic policies I really feel were disasterous- yes the economy slowly came roaring back on his watch but the deficit skyrocketed and the tax cuts were to much. Humanitarian policies under his watch were atrocious as well (aids, mentally ill, etc). So if I were a member of Congress weighing all of this information I would have to vote "no". I just think his negatives outweigh the positives. </p><p> </p><p>If we are looking at new figures to put on U.S. currency/coinage my choices would be: Thomas Paine, Paul Revere, Patrick Henry, Ethan Allen, James Armistead Lafayette, Harriet Tubman, John Marshall, Theodore Roosevelt, Thurgood Marshall, and MLK.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
