Ronald Reagan actually said...

"Make no mistake, we have the opportunity to put our fiscal house in order and to reform the budget process."

"We've proposed a trim budget that keeps the lid on spending and yet still recognizes that some increases are justified."

"I remain committed to the goal of price level stability."

"I have said before, I believe when all aspects of the budget are reviewed the primary policy problem will be viewed not as a lack of revenues but an inexorable growth in spending."
