Gerald Ford actually said...

"I think the policies we are pursuing at the present time will result in a continuous downward trend in the cost of living."

"I am asking the Congress today to enact the Financial Assistance for Health Care Act."

"I urge all civilian employees of the Federal Government and members of the Armed Forces to support this vital voluntary effort to the best of their ability."

"I am very, very confident, Bill, with your background in a wide variety of areas."
