       The Reagan Reverie (“Revolution?”) continues: Republican (fascist/socialist) President Reagan signs the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Reaffirmation Act, raising the national debt limit from 2,078,700,000,000 to 2,111,000,000,000 “dollars.”

       NOTE: So much for conservative Republicans!
