Reagan on Welfare

“We read that 'Each of us has been given his gift, his portion of Christ's bounty.' Well, let us share our bounty this Christmas season.”

December 16, 1982

“We read that 'Each of us has been given his gift, his portion of Christ's bounty.' Well, let us share our bounty this Christmas season. Let us offer not only our hearts and prayers but a generous hand to those who need our help. And as we light this tree, let us brighten the lives of those here at home and around the world whose Christmas may not be as glowing and as cheerful as ours.”
