Ronald Reagan, Portrait & Quote, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government, and I’m here to help." came from a speech Reagan about the federal government's sometimes clumsy interventions in sectors like agriculture. Farmers were struggling, and there was debate about how much the government should step in. Reagan, true to his philosophy, warned that while government assistance is often well-intentioned, it can create dependency, worsen problems, or take away freedom and efficiency from private citizens. This quote became a catchphrase for Reagan’s broader belief: that big government often does more harm than good, even when it claims to be "helping." It also fits into Reagan’s long-standing theme of promoting self-reliance, small government, and free-market solutions.
