For deficit hawks from both parties, Social Security reform appears to force difficult choices. The current system faces an $11.9 trillion short fall. Personal accounts will save trillions but require cash up-front. Three experts from the Cato Institute will examine the budgetary issues surrounding Social Security reform and whether personal accounts can be created in a fiscally responsible way.
