| Ronald Reagan Centennial | | There will be a year-long celebration next year celebrating President Reagan's 100th birthday, which was Feb. 6, 1911. Part of the significance of Reagan's birthday celebration is that it will not be celebrated using the taypayers' $$ as have so many other presidents' 100-year birthdays. From CBSNews.com:"Most of the events staged in the past to celebrate the bicentennial or centennial of a U.S. president or first lady were paid for with money appropriated by Congress. But the proclamation signed by President Barack Obama last year to set up a commission for the Reagan centennial does not require federal funding."I think Reagan would want it that way, don't you?

| | What do you think of Ronald Reagan on the Fifty Dollar Bill? | | I just heard that people in congress are considering putting Ronald Reagan's face on the Fifty Dollar bill. I guess it is in celebration of one hundred years of his birthdate. I thought it might be a good idea, yet I also know people are accustomed to having President Ulysses S. Grant. Do you think this is okay to do? Who do you think has a better picture or profile? | |

(Latest Rsmussen Report Below)Fifty-one percent (51%) say it’s a good idea to raise taxes on those earning more than $250,000 a year. An identical number say it’s a bad idea to nationalize even those banks at risk of failing.The President is using his popularity to try and convince Americans that government has a bigger and more positive role to play in the life of the nation. New polling data shows he still has work to do on that front—59% still agree with Ronald Reagan’s assertion that “Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/daily_presidential_tracking_po

| FDR or Ronald Reagan | | Both Presidents inherited an economy on the brink, but the two decided to handle the economy totally differently.
The Great Depression began with the Great Crash of 1929. By 1931, unemployment had reached 16 percent. By 1933, 89 percent of stock value had been wiped out, the economy had shrunk by one-third, thousands of banks had closed, a third of the money supply had vanished, and unemployment had reached 25 percent. FDR's answer was vast federal spending, tough new regulations on business and higher taxes. What did that accomplish nothing except keep the American economy depressed.
The Jimmy Carter era was the worst economy since the great depression interest rates had reached 21 percent and inflation 13 percent which we call stagflation. This is what Ronald Reagan inherited. His answer was the tight money policy of the Fed and across the board tax cuts of 25 percent, while slashing the highest rates from 70 percent to 28 percent. What did that accomplish a boom that created 20 million jobs and has been credited as America's seven fat years.
So which one would you choose?
