This conversation actually happened at our place last night.

"So, yeah, apparently when Reagan got in he called a meeting with all these high-level people, walked in and said, 'I hate these three things - fix it.' Heh heh."
"So what were the three things?"
"Good question. Red tape, something and communism. Red tape and what? What's something conservatives supposedly hate?"
"Dunno. High taxes?"
"Yeah, that's it. Red tape, taxes and communism. Heh heh. Hang on, no. How did it go? Taxes, red tape and communism. Heh heh. Was it taxes? Where are you going? I've nearly got it. Inflation! That was it. So he gets into the meeting - no, don't walk away - and he says, 'I hate red tape, communism and inflation, fix it.' Heh heh.....Red tape? Hmmm. Where are you? No, I've got it now. Inflation, taxes and communism! That was it."
