Ronald Reagan actually said...

"I fear that too many of our colleagues in the House prefer that we return to business as usual."

"assistance in developing long-term policies to reverse the current trend of greater control over State and local programs by the Federal Government."

"We need to provide for greater authority and responsibility in the States, counties, cities, and towns—to return government to those closest to the people most affected."

"Together, we can gain a significant victory for the American people."
