following is
thanks to Sasha of Sound Off with
Sasha, 2 pm Fridays on WGCU 90.1 on the FM
dial: "No one can say he didn’t warn us ... about forming a Military Industrial Complex, and now this: -- '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 source of the quote is a letter
from Eisenhower to his brother, Edgar, dated November 8, 1954.* *Sasha found this reference for me when I inquired for the
source of this quote. Thank you Sasha. "Sound
Off with Sasha" |
