WWRD? Raise the debt limit, as he did several times to make room for his lavish spending on defense. President Reagan incurred more debt than H.W. Bush and both terms of Clinton combined. It should also be noted that Reagan raised taxes several times during his two terms. President Reagan was a fine man, and his bi-partisanship, if only behind closed doors, was commendable, but let's not create an alternate reality that is the Reagan myth.
