Slippery slope fears in anti tobacco bans
The piece argues that anti tobacco activists push for broader bans beyond public spaces into private homes and multi family buildings. It cautions that restricting property rights in the name of health could extend to private residences, autos, and even single family homes, urging owner choice over government overreach. It cites Seattle public housing as a model and notes bans on trans fats as a parallel trend.

The piece argues government subsidies for student loans push up tuition and distortion prices. It cites studies suggesting higher aid raises net college costs and notes that most U.S. participation rose before strong federal involvement. It proposes market-rate loans or earnings-based contracts as alternatives, with aid justified only if tuition is not economically viable.
