They would never let kids see this in school now, and I can guarantee you they don't teach kids "Be careful how you vote, you could lose your liberties under the guise of protection"

This is 14 seconds of a 37 min press conference 8/12/1986. Watch a little more. What he said was "I think you all know that I've always felt the nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help. A great many of the current problems on the farm were caused by government-imposed embargoes and inflation ... Our ultimate goal, ... is economic independence for agriculture, ... But until we make that transition, the Government must act compassionately and responsibly. In order to see farmers through these tough times, our administration has committed record amounts of assistance, spending more in this year alone than any previous administration spent during its entire tenure. No area of the budget, including defense, has grown as fast as our support for agriculture."
