Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
oppose any reduction in Social Security benefits for current recipients, including means-testing for eligibility. For current beneficiaries, the government required everyone to pay for a defective product. The government needs to fix the product for future generations, not engage in fraud by failing to provide what was already promised to current generations. For everyone under 25, I would: raise the retirement age, improve the investing alternatives, and change withholdings to make it solvent.

Of the $1.6-trillion in federal student debt, nearly 25% is expected to default leaving taxpayers with the bill. For this reason, and many more, the federal government should not make student loans. Regulators should ensure that the private sector loan markets function efficiently and transparently – whether for student loans, homes, cars, or credit cards, etc.
