Democratic (socialist/fascist) President Carter turns the presidency over to Republican (fascist/socialist) former governor Ronald W. Reagan, of the republic of California.  Carter is giving to Reagan a (publicly held portion of the) national debt that has expanded from 700,000,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 “dollars,” going from 3,200 to 4,300 “dollars” per person, but falling from 34 to 31% of the Gross National Product.

       NOTES:

  • The nation is still paying for the Panics of 1837 and 1857; the War of Federal Aggression; the Great War (World War I); and the pre-New Deal through unlawful Direct (income) taxes placed upon United States subject/enemy/citizens.
  • The Democratic and Republican (status quo) parties have now maintained an 84-year duopoly on political power.
  • In his first official act, Commander-in-Chief Reagan issued a memorandum freezing the number of Federal employees (French for “government workers”).

       Postscript: At the end of Reagan’s eight years in office the number of Federal employees grew almost 10% to nearly 3,000,000.
