Ronald Reagan actually said...

"We came to Washington in 1981 pledged to reduce the size, cost, and inefficiency of the government."

"It seems incredible that the chief executives of 43 States and many of your own county executives have line-item veto authority, but the President of the United States does not."

"Without the Peacekeeper our chances of reaching an equitable agreement with the Soviet Union to reduce significantly the size of our nuclear arsenals are substantially lowered."

"There's the potential of them not having to create it."
