Social security: preserve benefits or reform?

The test question and the possible answers

Social security must be preserved without cutting benefits, even if that means raising more revenue.

What's at stake: Social security is valued by all sides; the disagreement is about how to fund and reform it so that it lasts.

The left's argument

Cutting benefits weakens the sick, the retired and everyone who depends on them.

The right's argument

To save social security, it must be reformed: its rising cost weighs on work.
