"McCain clearly believes he can offer personal accounts while keeping the rest of Social Security intact and rejects the privatization label. For all of these reasons, we find the DNC's claim to be Half True." Full Story »

This is a fairly good explanation of what McCain means to do with Social Security. I like the information regarding the word choice between "privatization" and "personal accounts." The piece is a good start on discovering McCain's view of the issue. However, it does not provide quite enough information to answer the obvious questions (e.g. how is McCain's plan different from Bush's and how would we keep the system "intact" with personal accounts for some?") Finally, the last paragraph makes little sense; it's irrelevant that McCain believes he can have personal accounts and keep SS intact. Is that possible? The DNC's claim that McCain favors "privatization" by one means or another is true--not "Half True."
