I Think I'm Getting a Military-Industrial Complex

Pop quiz, politico savants. Who said:

""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 answer, of course, is President Dwight D. Eisenhower, on November 8, 1954.

You know, when the wisest president your party has put up in nearly a century is a guy who spent most of his two terms on the golf course, you're in a bad way.

On the other hand, look at those "stupid" Texas oil millionaires now, Ma!
