We could possibly have an interesting discussion about who might deserve to be included on a project like Mt. Rushmore (I don't think there is enough room to add anybody) but the last two paragraphs reveal you are not really interested in the subject.
Should Calvin Coolidge's face be chiseled into Mt .Rushmore?

I'm going to rant against "big government" while advocating the expenditure of tax dollars on a very expensive, unproductive enterprise.
If anything is to be done at Mt. Rushmore, I vote for finishing what they started.
I believe so. He cleaned up Harding's mess, laid the economic foundation for America to be able to defeat the Nazis and Japanese with his economic policies, slashed taxes drastically enabling such economic conditions which allowed for the creation of many jobs and businesses to grow and flourish.
Today however we have no candidate that's similar to him, the man was a genius way ahead of his time and the time is ripe for someone like him to appear and fix things from the previous six administrations. Carter, Reagan, Bushes, Clinton, and Obama racked up so much debt on so many fronts and greatly expanded the size of government, which needs a drastic shrinking. We can start by stop being the world's police as out military spending is outrageous then abolish all the bureaus which don't contribute to keeping America safe or defend individual rights.
Government is neither a charity nor a church, and cannot force upon its citizens certain moralities by arresting people for using certain substances, exercising control over their own bodies, or appropriate wealth from producers to give to itself or others. Taxation is theft.
