One for the Gipper

Congress is considering legislation to name our federal ocean waters the Ronald Wilson Reagan Exclusive Economic Zone.

The sponsor is Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif.

The bill already has cleared the House Natural Resources Committee and is now awaiting consideration on the floor.

Here's a committee report with more details, including remarks from two members of Congress who think naming the 200-mile zone after the former president is a lousy idea.

The dissenting op is the important read here. Vote NO.

What a disgusting idea, not only is it inappropriate considering the history but makes for another ridiculous acronym.

RWREEZ.

Now then, naming it the Russell Wilson Economic Zone makes a lot more sense, no?

That people actually get paid money to spend the time to make worthless crap up is beyond. Hours will be wasted on this effort.AC

This is how government gets inflated. And this guy complains about the size of government? Sheesh.
