This sounds a little like Ronald Reagan, but it isn't. You tell me who said it; I guarantee you'll be surprised at the true answer.
?The doctrine of regulation and legislation by ?master minds,? in whose judgment and will all the people may gladly and quietly acquiesce, has been too glaringly apparent at Washington during these last ten years. Were it possible to find ?master minds? so unselfish, so willing to decide unhesitatingly against their own personal interests or private prejudices, men almost godlike in their ability to hold the scales of justice with an even hand, such a government might be to the interests of the country; but there are none such on our political horizon, and we cannot expect a complete reversal of all the teachings of history.?

Now, honestly; does that sound like the man who gave us the New Deal, with its reliance on all those "master minds" dedicated to making government ever bigger?

Sounds like someone who isn't getting their way and is bitter about it. Reagan didn't talk about change without making it happen. Instead of sitting around hoping, Reagan made it happen.
