Mending the U.S.-China Relationship

Chinese Vice President and assumed-future President Xi Jinping visited Washington this week amid growing concern that the U.S.-China relationship is headed for a difficult stretch. Cato scholar Daniel J. Ikenson warns, "Politicians, policymakers, and members of the media should put down their battle bugles and consider that trade wars are never won." Adds Justin Logan, "Putting the [the U.S.-China relationship] on a sounder footing requires addressing security issues. ...This relationship will define U.S. foreign policy in the 21st century."

Still a Better Deal: Private Investment vs. Social Security

Opponents of allowing younger workers to privately invest a portion of their Social Security taxes through personal accounts have long pointed to the supposed riskiness of private investment. But a new paper from Cato scholar Michael D. Tanner reveals that, despite recent declines in the stock market, a worker who had invested privately over the past 40 years would have still earned, on average, more income than if they relied on Social Security.

Cato Files Supreme Court Brief on the Constitutionality of the Individual Mandate

The Cato Institute on Monday filed its fourth and final Supreme Court amicus brief in the Obamacare saga, this time on the most critical issue: the constitutionality of the individual mandate. Alongside Pacific Legal Foundation, Competitive Enterprise Institute, 14 other organizations, and a bipartisan group of 333 state legislators, we urge the Court to affirm the Eleventh Circuit's ruling that the mandate exceeds Congress's power to regulate interstate commerce.
