"We don't have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven't taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much." - Reagan Address to National Association of Realtors, March 28, 1982 (the debt went from 1 trillion to 3 trillion under Reagan - despite his claim that he could increase defense spending, cut taxes, and balance the budget...)

More simple Reagan quotes. Who wrote some of this stuff for him - all Peggy N.?? [G]overnment's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. Remarks to the White House Conference on Small Business, August 15, 1986 The other day, someone told me the difference between a democracy and a people's democracy. It's the same difference between a jacket and a straitjacket. Remarks at Human Rights Day event, December 10, 1986

Last Reagan quote: However, our task is far from over. Our friends in the other party will never forgive us for our success, and are doing everything in their power to rewrite history. Listening to the liberals, you'd think that the 1980's were the worst period since the Great Depression, filled with suffering and despair. I don't know about you, but I'm getting awfully tired of the whining voices from the White House these days. They're claiming there was a decade of greed and neglect, but you and I know better than that. We were there. RNC Annual Gala, Feb. 3, 1994 (Of course it was great for him, and his rich friends. It took the 1990s, to extend properity to everyone in the U.S. though - for the first time in many decades shrinking the gap between rich and poor, while everyone did better. And the Clinton 90's finally saw govt. surpluses - something completely absent from the real Reagan agenda, not the fake phony stuff he talked about...) t
