Just shows they were a good congress. We have enough laws, I wish they would take more days off. Maybe go to a two day work week. We need a do nothing Congress in my opinion. The less they work the less they do and then the Less the screw up. Less Government is a good thing not a bad thing.
We have millions of laws, most all things are covered. Any new laws will just take away more of our rights as Americans.
I vote for a do nothing Congress!

A good congress?? You would cut off your own nose to spite your face. Meanwhile people in the the Upper Great Plains suffered through another drought without any assistance. I suppose steer jockeys don't have to worry about drought.

Soapweed said:Here are some more good Ronald Reagan quotes. Mr. Reagan was a very wise man.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same."
"Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged."
"Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them."
"Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other."
"Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives."
"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."
"I've never been able to understand why a Republican contributor is a 'fat cat' and a Democratic contributor of the same amount of money is a 'public-spirited philanthropist'."
"It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first."
"It's silly talking about how many years we will have to spend in the jungles of Vietnam when we could pave the whole country and put parking stripes on it and still be home by Christmas."
"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!"
"Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book."
"The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would steal them away."
"We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone."
"We might come closer to balancing the Budget if all of us lived closer to the Commandments and the Golden Rule."
"We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions."
"We should measure welfare's success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added."
"Welfare's purpose should be to eliminate, as far as possible, the need for its own existence."
"Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face."

If you honestly believe Ronald Regan quoted all of these then you'll believe anything on the internet. If you can honestly prove that he said these quotes I will stand corrected.

I googled Ronald Reagan quotes. This is only one of many pages that came up. I do "honestly" believe them to be true. As far as I am concerned, the ball is in your court. If you can prove to me that he didn't make these quotations, I will be only too glad to admit that you are right. Until then, as far as I am concerned, the quotes can be attributed to Ronald Reagan.
