No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth!

We have no place for haters in America -- none, whatsoever.
Ronald Reagan

Governments don't control things. A government can't control the economy without controlling people.
Ronald Reagan
One picture is worth 1,000 denials.
Ronald Reagan
The Federalist Society is changing the culture of our nation's law schools. You are returning the values and concepts of law as our founders understood them to scholarly dialogue, and through that dialogue, to our legal institutions.
Ronald Reagan
There can be no security anywhere in the free world if there is no fiscal and economic stability within the United States.
Ronald Reagan
Nothing lasts longer than a temporary government program.
Ronald Reagan
The more the plans fail, the more the planners plan.

I'm convinced that today the majority of Americans want what those first Americans wanted: A better life for themselves and their children a minimum of government authority.
