The Facts Behind the News
A statement by President Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953-1961) concerning America's Social Safety Net.
The original passage, from a letter Eisenhower wrote to his brother Edgar on November 8, 1954, went as follows" :
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 H. L. Hunt (you possibly know his background), a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid.
