Gerald Ford Holiday

I kind of agree with Polipundit on this one. It's great to recognize and mourn the death of our Presidents. However, he died on December 26th. We've had 7 days to digest this and recognize his achievements and now today, day number 8, we have a national holiday.

It costs a lot of money to close down the economy for a day, and provide paid holidays for all the nation's federal workers.

Again - not tryin to disrespect - just think 7 days is enough.
