spousal contracts, divorce, social security, etc. if we do away with the recognition of marriage?

The only one of those that's a problem is Social Security. Divorce (division of property) is already common among Hollywood's unmarried. I would like to know how SS would be handled if the Fed got out of the marriage business (which I think they should).

Goddamn. Rand, what a moron.

Why are we capitulating on one of our most important issues?

Cross him off the list for 2016. He coulda been a contender.

RE: The only one of those that’s a problem is Social Security.

Immigration too.

People don’t just immigrate without their spouses. How do you have an immigration law that does not recognize a person’s marriage from another country?

For any other retirement system, you get to name your beneficiary. You don’t with SS. The government provides survivor benefits. This would have to be changed.
