Although today’s “educators” would never allow it to happen, wouldn’t it be nice if some school system somewhere would include the following “Reaganisms” as required reading?
“Here’s my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose.”
- Ronald Reagan
“The most terrifying words in the English languageare: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”

“The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant: It’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.”

Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress.”

“The taxpayer: That’s someone who works for the federal government but doesn’t have to take the civil service examination.”- Ronald Reagan
“Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.” – Ronald Reagan
“If we ever forget that we’re one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.”- Ronald Reagan
“The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.” – Ronald Reagan

“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.”

The belief that government creates wealth. . ..
The paradox of thrift as introduced by Keynes which states that while savings is good for the individual it is bad for the overall economy.
Keynesian Economics see story
Economic policy by bureaucratic committee is superior to the millions of interactions of the free market
Increase government does not reduce individual freedoms
The above is the snake-oil of the left. It is time to expose it for what it is, worthless as fools’ gold.
One other myth that goes to the soul of the left, The Great Depression was caused by the failure of the free markets. This is their whole basis for government intervention in the economy. The truth is that it was government actions which caused the length and depth of the Depression. I will have more on this topic later.
