Jimmy Carter actually said...

"We simply can no longer afford the price of the red tape."

"I believe that if we talk sense to the American people, we will find support for a realistic program to meet the urban crisis."

"We must get the money and services to the people who need them, and not just to the communities that happen to be most skilled in the art of grantsmanship."

"I believe that, working together, we can turn the tide, stop the decay, and set in motion a process of growth that by the end of this century can give us cities worthy of the greatest nation on earth."
