Ronald Reagan actually said...

"Our federalism proposals, designed to return decision-making to governments closest to the people, are fundamental to our Republic."

"I would like to thank each of you for the efforts that you've made to achieve our federalism reforms."

"By working together, through cooperation, with give and take, we've weathered the worst of the storm."

"The Federal Government cannot solve America's problems without your help, just as you need assistance from us."
