On the recordFebruary 11, 2009
A lot of people around here don't like Ronald Reagan. I happen to think he is one of the best men that ever lived. But he made some statements that the American people understand. One of my favorite statements that Ronald Reagan said was ``the closest thing to eternal life that you will ever see in your lifetime is a Federal program.'' Now I think we should step back and look at this ``stimulus package,'' this ``temporary infusion of capital to make our markets work'' and find that we are creating 32 new programs. That is a potential for 32 new eternal lives.
