Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"I think it is wrong for some people to line their pockets with the tattered dollars of the poor."

"This is a problem that must be met not only by the Federal Government, but by every government, State and local, and by all the people of America."

"What happens to Lake Erie will alone affect the lives of 25 million people in the State of New York, in the land of the United States, and in our neighbor, Canada."

"I came here today to pledge to you that the Federal Government, as long as I have anything to do with it, is going to meet its responsibilities."
