Secure America’s Future Economy (SAFE)
(formerly Seniors Against Federal Extravagance)

SAFE is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization that broke away from the AARP in 1996 (history) and has been urging that the government get its fiscal affairs in order ever since. Unfortunately, our advice has not always been heeded.  The government is currently running record deficits, and the explosive growth of entitlement outlays (primarily Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid) could make the situation far worse.  Citizen’s Guide (Peterson Foundation, March 2009).

In general, SAFE advocates smaller, more focused, less costly government.  We believe that free markets make for the best economic decisions, and that the government should only intervene in the economic sphere when and to the extent that there is a clear need for it to do so.  Concerned that the U.S. government seems to be operating poorly, we have developed some ideas for systemic reform.  Government Run Amok Disease

For SAFE’s suggestions on policy issues, see Social Security, healthcare, energy, education, taxes, and budget discipline, as updated and supplemented by our weekly blog.  Here is a recap of the latest blog entry.
