Eisenhower Does it Again

Dave Sirota found this jaw-dropping quote from Dwight "Military Industrial Complex" D. Eisenhower (select words in bold by 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 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."

The only thing I want to add to Sirota's excellent post is that Bush is not the only "Texas oil millionaire" in the White House. Don't forget his Boss, Mr. Cheney.
