Jon Meacham: We Could Learn a Lot from the Dwight Eisenhower Era
‘Not a single soldier died in combat under Dwight Eisenhower’
EXCERPT:
MEACHAM: “You have a Dwight Eisenhower in 1953 saying, I’m not going to rip up the New Deal, it’s part of the fabric of the country. That sets up an amazing run of prosperity, it helps set up the work of the civil rights movement. It helps set up our posture in the Cold War. And a peaceable posture. Not a single soldier died in combat under Dwight Eisenhower. And that is where he was asking a Republican Party to change its orthodoxy. And they didn’t like it, but they did it. And that’s an era we could go back to — that we can learn a lot from."
