Quotes

Reagan on Government

The people are the government. What we create we ought to be able to control.

January 29, 1981

All of us should remember that the federal government is not some mysterious institution comprised of buildings, files, and paper. The people are the government. What we create we ought to be able to control.

Excerpted from News Conference - The People are the Government
