Congress Likes Statues

I've spoken before about my belief that post office designations are stupid votes because the work is trivial and beneath the things that the congress needs to be worrying about. I've suggested setting up an independent committee to handle such things. Well, that's not the only committee that needs to be created.

House Concurrent Resolution 101: Providing for the acceptance of a statue of Ronald Wilson Reagan from the people of California for placement in the United States Capitol.

Do we really need to be taking up the congress's time passing bills to decorate the United States Capitol? Sure, I know a lot of them like Reagan and all and want to honor his memory, but do we need to (literally) make a federal issue out of it? Set up an independent committee to do the work of figuring out which historical figure matches the carpets best and get on with the real work.
