I was not the one who requested that you post it, but I appreciate it nonetheless.<br /><br />Taxes and inflation were both very different realities at the time. However, the inter-bureaucratic competitions and petty turf wars are still with us. <br /><br />More, Ike speaks to the need for government to operate assertively to address problems, rather than wait for whatever invisible anatomies to intervene.<br /><br />So, yes... still relevant for a number of reasons.CZHAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00608075411638071572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-7089851888814691882009-11-30T13:10:16.823-05:002009-11-30T13:10:16.823-05:00Barkley,

I am confused here, really. What is this...Walker,<br /><br />I am confused here, really. What is this speech? Did Ike give it or not, and if not, how is it known to exist and why did he not give it?<br /><br />Beyond that, whether he gave it or not, I am also very unclear why you have posted it. A rant against inflation and for tax cuts? Huh? Other than the famous quote from Clemenceau about war being too important to be left to generals, maybe, I see mighty little in it that has any relevance to either Obama's policy towards Afghanistan or his jobs policy, whatever one may think of either of those.rosserjb@jmu.eduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300046915843554101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-5973175470010217462009-11-29T23:13:49.356-05:002009-11-29T23:13:49.356-05:00Yes.
