A friend just sent me a quote by Eisenhower that goes as follows:
Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are H. L. Hunt (you possibly know his background), a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid.
Checking on whether this is an urban legend led me to the letter in which the quote appears in Ike's Presidential papers. I wonder what he would say about the war? And the six new British memo's that were leaked today.
