36. Some positions: ship jobs to foreign countries, protect bankers so that student-loan debts cannot be

discharged in bankruptcy, privatize Social Security (even partly), and override Constitutionally-protected rights.

As noted in Wikipedia,

"Some Chafee's positions considered to be within the mainstream of the current Republican Party include his support of free trade agreements (e.g., North American Free Trade Agreement and Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA); Bankruptcy Reform; the partial privatization of Social Security; and the USA Patriot Act."
