I say we put Ronald Reagan's face on the Trillion Dollar Coin [View all]

I'm reading about the so-called 'Trillion Dollar Coin', something Obama could do if the Republicans piss him off enough with this debt ceiling/budget stuff.

Now all the right-wing screeds are taking what was kinda a joke and making it sound like the government is seriously considering making one of these coins.

So I figured if Obama does do it just to spite the republicans they should put Ronald Reagan's face on it. First, because Reagan really did fuck our budget over big time and second because the Right-wing has been screaming forever to put Reagan's face on currency somewhere.
