Ike on social safety nets

12 May, 2005 (18:09) | Political, Quotable

Thanks to Clyde for sending this to me:

“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 that you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid.”

Dwight D. Eisenhower, in a letter to Edgar Eisenhower dated November 8, 1954

The only lesson of history is that mankind never learns any lessons from history.
