Fifty Bucks

I have heard chatter of the United States Mint changing the face of the Fifty-Dollar Bill from Ulysses S. Grant to former President Ronald Reagan. I'm an 80s-Baby, so I don't recall much about Reagan's presidency, but Ulysses S. Grant and the Union Army defeated the Confederate soldiers in the Civil War.

What did Reagan do? A War on Drugs? It's failing, horribly...but it did manage to put a lot of good people in prison for a really long time. His granddaddy just may have been in the Confederate Army.

The removal of Ulysses S. Grant from the Fifty-Dollar Bill would be a slap in the face to the very people that benefited from the Confederate Army's surrendering to the Union. If Reagan's face has to be on a bill, put him on the Twenty instead of Andrew Jackson's mugshot.

What's next, W on the Five instead of Abe?
