Reagan was extremely destructive to declare “Government is not the solution to our problem, Government is the problem.”

Has the "Party of Lincoln" forgotten that Lincoln proudly said, "Our Government is of, by, & for the people."

To declare Government as the problem is to declare the American people as the problem. And when you declare people as the problem, you become exclusive, cruel, & unjust. That's not pro-America—it's literally anti-America. That's what the GOP has become. Vote Them Out.

I see it slightly differently. Government is the elected & appointed people who are entrusted to "govern", to ensure that the country operates smoothly & in the best interests of the people & the republic. The people entrusted to lead us are "the problem", because they become arrogant, greedy, self-serving & corrupt. They say "government" is the problem as they "govern". There is no government without them.
