Ronald Reagan actually said...

"We neither want nor expect the increased user fees to discourage the ingenuity and creativity of individual inventors."

"Development of new technology is a vital ingredient in my administration's plan for economic recovery."

"It all hinges on one question: Do we as a nation have the unshakable determination to get Federal spending under control once and for all?"

"I urge the Congress to enact immediately a 1982 supplemental appropriations bill that does not contain excessive and unwarranted spending increases for domestic programs."
