In ads sponsored by the Cato Institute in tomorrow's Roll Call newspaper and The Washington Times, the economists argue that America's Social Security system is facing a financial crisis because of its flawed pay-as-you-go structure.

Addison, at the instigation of his friends, set to work on Cato, the first four acts of which had been written before the beginning of The Tatler, perhaps as early as 1703.

Side by side with the study in public virtue and high politics, a drama of the tender passion occupies the stage.

 Peter Ferrara: Cato Institute Wants To Get Rid of the Entire Social Security System   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
EIR has documented that Cato Institute took over and wrote most of the recommendations of the December 2001 final report of President Bush's official "Commission to Strengthen Social Security," which Bush adopted and presented, with minor changes, in his Feb. 2 State of the Union address.
Today, Ferrara and Cato are having a nasty lover's spat: both would divert half of the 12.4 percentage points in taxes that workers and employer combined would normally pay into Social Security, instead into Wall Street- managed private accounts.
But Cato openly calls for sharp cuts in retiree benefits; Ferrara says that openly backing cuts will defeat privatization in Congress (instead one should "disguise" the cuts).

The works of Hayek, Milton Friedman, Ludwig von Mises, Thomas Sowell, and other thinkers whose works satisfy at least certain strands of libertarianism are routinely reviewed (favorably), distilled (judiciously), and sold (inexpensively) by libertarian publications and those generally sympathetic to some if not all of the tenets of libertarianism.
Firmly believing that classical liberalism is steadily losing ground, and that the subsequent decline of the West is the disastrous consequence of bad ideas, the publications are dedicated to providing a forum where the good, if not still widely popular, ideas of the liberal faith can he aired.
