Entry for January 10, 2009

I didn't like Ronald Reagan as Governor of California, a sure as hell never voted for him to be President. Yet nearly 30 years after he came to office, some of his quotations seem relevant today:
The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.


Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.

Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them.

Ronald Reagan


He also said a lot of really silly things that look even stupider in hindsight. Still, my inner voice, the one I call reason, says that the more our government tinkers with things the more screwed up things get.
