In order to fix Social Security, we must restructure it so that we continue to provide for our Nation's seniors that are approaching retirement age, but allow for younger taxpayers to invest a portion of their Social Security taxes in private accounts.

Americans need accurate information in order to consider Social Security reform. Too bad the media can't be counted upon to provide it.
