LBJ was a crook for sure, JFK was not a saint, and people are looking at him through rose-colored glasses, I don't want to even go where Kennedy had his problems, his speeches people here are a bit longer and turn things opposite what they start out as. He is the one who set the silver to be taken off the money from what I remember and I am pretty sure I am correct; it was his face on the last silver dollar. The silver was just a bit later sandwiched with the middle copper; I think. By the time Nixon go in they had decided to back everything in oil so prices rose and they put in just in time, this was the worst thing for the regular people because they were already slowly pushing the jobs out, changing the medical schools to train them with Pharmaceuticals as the thing pushing them on people. Actually, presidents are not supposed to have to say over the currency but with Democrats, they do it all together and there had not been a republican control congress at that time since the 1920s. Democrats control everything, from the swap out presidents, giving a token Republican and most democrats since the 1920s. It was a controlled government by one party, with in name only republicans who weren't republicans at all. Bush wasn't really republicans only using the name. Most of the Supreme Court was also left.

I am a real republican so I know the difference in the name only ones, they don't love the constitution very much which republicans always did.
