Ronald Reagan actually said...

"The importance of the proposal to eliminate deficit spending can hardly be overstated."

"Much is at stake when we talk about the principles of our party."

"One of the reasons I like this Gramm-Rudman bill is because it attacks budget deficits the right way, not by raising taxes, but by restraining spending."

"The Republican Party sees the challenges of the world with clear eyes and recognizes the difference between the totalitarians and the freedom fighters."
