Words of a Prophet Ring True 51 years later
"Should any political party attempt to abolish Social Security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that political party again in our 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 businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible, and they are stupid."
President Dwight Eisenhower,
Nov. 8, 1954

Eisenhower was gay??? Wasn't he the president who issued an executive order banning gay men and lesbians from federal jobs?

At the time, their numbers were negligable and they were stupid. Today their numbers are growing and they are still stupid, in the political sense. You can't take away an entitlement and not expect to be driven from office. You may very well be right in taking away the entitlement, but if you expect to survive, politically, you better have a plan to make the majority of people think it was their idea in the first place.

No cal I was being facetious, it was based upon Ike's quote about never getting rid of SS -- that is a dream of mine to have SS destroyed.
