President Eisenhower said he was "conservative when it comes to money matters and liberal when it comes to human beings." What did he mean by that? Give some specific examples of his conservatism on money matters and liberalism on human beings
Did his actions at anytime contradict this description of himself? When? Explain.
Eisenhower wanted to cut the federal budget and he did so by slashing defense spending. But, most of the liberal New Deal programs still in existence survived, and a major new public works program (National System of Interstate and Defense Highways Act) was initiated. Eisenhower's weak leadership on the civil rights issue raises some question about his being "liberal when it comes to human beings."
