Reagan on Democracy
“The record suggests that in a democracy the scaling back of domestic spending may well be the most politically difficult act a government can undertake.”
March 19, 1985
“The record suggests that in a democracy the scaling back of domestic spending may well be the most politically difficult act a government can undertake. Yet when we succeed, we'll know that we fought the good fight with intelligence and skill and that we put our nation on a course of prosperity for decades to come.”
