2016 FL Senate race: on Social Security

Carlos Lopez-Cantera: Preserve and protect Social Security and Medicare

We know that Medicare and Social Security cannot continue in their current form. People of good faith know the question is how, not if, we reform these programs. We must make both programs solvent over the long term. We can't keep kicking the can down the road, hoping the next Congress or the next generation will have the political courage we lack.

David Jolly: FactCheck: Discuss private accounts & other options too

Which option Jolly favored wasn't so clear, beyond setting some kind of benefit guarantee for people who have already qualified for Social Security or are currently receiving payments. He hasn't said whether private accounts were at the top of his list of potential fixes, only that they should be considered. Democrats were attempting to make it sound like he is 100% behind the idea; we rate that statement `Mostly False.`

Jolly said several times on the campaign trail that the Supreme Court found that `Social Security is not guaranteed.` A 1960 case did indeed say that; Congress can change the rules. We rate his statement `True.`
