Improvements

Recent pandering:
Now Republican Rep. Patrick T. McHenry of North Carolina wants to sub Reagan on the nation's $50 bill for President Ulysses S. Grant, a union general during the Civil War who led the North to victory and later became the nation's 18th POTUS. Grant, a champion for African Americans, died broke, so he probably appreciates the money. But if McHenry has his way, Grant will be retired to the dustbin of history.
What must the Birchers think?

House style thinks my thoughts for me:



GRANT to GRANNY: how much goddamned DESTINY is there in that? WHAT CHOICE DID I HAVE?

A bouncing grannie would certainly make things difficult for the counterfeiters. Not immediately sure how to implement this idea, but hey, I'm the idea guy and the petty details are someone else's job.

Compromise being the lifeblood of bipartisanship, I will agree to the change if the zero in fifty is changed to the goatse guy.

Hendrik Hertzberg suggests a bigger bill for the Gipper.

You could use hologram foil to create a bouncing granny, albeit much, much smaller.

50 dollar bills? Hell, another couple of years like this an NOBODY will have any money, so what's the diff?

I think a portrait of state's rights champion Ronald Reagan would be a great addition to the Confederate $50 bill.

Confederate currency? I thought they had rejected paper scrip and reverted to gold coinage.

There are other alterations occurring to OUR currency.
