"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."

What's that got to do with Reagan? Reagonomics was mostly about trimness and minimal government intervention: less spending, low corporate tax, deregulation. Subsidies of course went to the usual favourites.

According to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum's archives (online here) the quotation is from a speech Ronald Reagan gave in 1986:
"Well, anyway, it's wonderful to be having this White House Conference on Small Business again after almost 6 years. Things certainly have changed in the meantime. Back then, 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. Laughter Well, with your help, I think we've turned all that around."

Perhaps the funniest of the US presidents. The ones I tend to agree with politically are all so serious.
