Ronald Reagan actually said...

"The ultimate objective...is to use block grants...as a bridge, leading to the day when you'll have not only the responsibility for the programs that properly belong at the State level."

"Unless bureaucracy is constantly resisted, it breaks down representative government and overwhelms democracy."

"It is not the Federal Government or the States who retain the power—the people retain the power."

"The people of this country are saying that we've been on a road that they don't want to stay on."
