Sirotablog: Ike Predicted GOP Demise Over Social Security:
"'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 [a] few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid.'Would anyone believe that Ike could have made me miss any aspect of the 50's? The man is turning out to be a regular prophet regarding the military/industrial complex!
- President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 11/8/54"
