== Speech Relevance == In '[[A Time For Choosing]]' Reagan says: <BLOCKQUOTE>''Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn't so.''</BLOCKQUOTE> Turns out, Reagan is re-purposing one of Billings lines: <BLOCKQUOTE>''The trouble with people is not that they don't know but that they know so much that ain't so.''</BLOCKQUOTE> Billings is also responsible for popularizing the expression "The squeaky wheel gets the grease." through a poem he wrote.
