Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower
34th President of the United States 1952-1960

“conservative when it comes to money and liberal when it comes to human beings.”

Ike cut the federal budget and instituted measures to increase states' rights but at the same time increased Social Security and raised the minimum wage.

Created the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, which he placed under the guidance of Oveta Culp Hobby of Texas.

Eisenhower signed legislation that created the Interstate Highway System, laying the basis for the modern interstate system used today.

Many of the existing New Deal programs established by his predecessors remained during Eisenhower’s tenure, and the primary focus of his presidency dealt with diffusing the mounting tension of the early Cold War.
