He contends Social Security funds are hidden via off balance sheet accounting and government bonds, likening the scheme to Enron. The piece ends noting Lowell’s Hoover Institution senior fellowship.

Government should back marriage amid welfare reform
Cal Thomas argues the Bush plan to spend 100 million annually to promote marriage among the poor reflects a broader failure of policy. He cites studies showing married households reduce poverty and notes high out-of-wedlock birth rates, urging educational campaigns, premarital counseling, and tax breaks for stay-at-home parents while blaming modern culture for the decline of marriage. He calls religious groups the best hope to rebuild families and reduce welfare costs.
