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.

Ideally, the government should balance the budget and keep it that way – without raising taxes.  If free markets and the private sector are permitted to function, there should be no need for an ever-larger government to “create jobs” and “run the economy.”

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).

SAFE publicizes the gravity of the situation and urges remedial action through letters, events, and  legislative contacts.

We also publish quarterly newsletters and maintain this Website (including a weekly blog. A synopsis of latest entry below).

6/29/09 –  Down but not out, fiscal visionaries ponder the path forward.  Spending cuts should be on the menu. http://s-a-f-e.org/blog.htm

To review our suggestions on policy issues, see Social Security, healthcare, energy, education, taxes, and budget discipline.

If you think SAFE is on the right track, we invite you to join us.
