Why Republicans can't govern

OK, this is only one example of the stupid hobby horses Republicans ride when they are in power, but why would anyone serious about actual governance worry about such stupidity:

As founder of the Ronald Reagan Legacy Project, Norquist dreams of the day when all 3,130 U.S. counties, parishes, boroughs and independent municipalities have something, anything -- a school, a street, a library -- named for Ronald Reagan.

This president earned it fair and square because "he broke the back of the Soviet Union and turned the economy around," Norquist told Politics Daily. Reagan left office in 1989, publicly announced he was battling Alzheimer's disease in 1994 and died a decade later at 93.

"Every school, road, or courthouse that we name after Ronald Reagan becomes a teaching moment. It will open the door for parents to explain to young children who Ronald Reagan was and to provide a catalyst for learning to those who were too young to remember him in their early years," proclaims the Legacy Project website.

I think it would be appropriate to name the National Debt after him.  Thanks to his leadership, Republicans have determined that tax cuts always increase revenues and never increase the debt.  That is his true legacy.

Update: "he broke the back of the Soviet Union and turned the economy around,"-I don't think naming shit after Reagan is going to turn the economy around today, how about sticking to addressing the economy and lay off of the naming.  Then again, Republican "governance" got us into this, I don't think it will get us out.  Blind luck is our only hope.

Second update: As anyone who attended Warren G. Harding elementary school could attest to, oftentimes buildings named after someone don't heighten that person's legacy, it mainly depends on what that legacy is.
