March 10 - 13, 2005		One proposal for Social Security reform would give young workers a choice between setting up personal retirement accounts and staying in the current Social Security program.
		It would also guarantee that all promised benefits would be paid to Americans 55 and older. Would you favor or oppose such a proposal?
