This is what Ronald Reagan had to say:
"Trust me" government asks that we concentrate our hopes and dreams on one man;
that we trust him to do what's best for us. My view of government places trust
not in one person or one party, but in those values that transcend persons and
parties. The trust is where it belongs--in the people. The responsibility to
live up to that trust is where it belongs, in their elected leaders. That kind
of relationship, between the people and their elected leaders, is a special kind
of compact.
