Democrats attack Paul Ryan on privatization as Romney chooses him as running mate. The debate recalls Bush 2005 proposals for personal accounts, with Ryan endorsing some elements in 2010 while Romney favors gradual changes and no tax hikes. Officials warn the Social Security trust funds may deplete by 2033, risking benefits.
