Ronald Reagan actually said...

"The Supreme Court's decision today brings the focus of compliance with the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings deficit reduction targets back to where it belongs: on the Congress."

"I believe the deficit targets of Gramm-Rudman-Hollings were and are a promise to the American people by their government."

"Well, then he's just misinformed."

"I don't think that would be appropriate to impose on him."
