Lisa Johnston on Social Security

No privately managed retirement accounts

The only option that Ayotte ruled out would be to support converting Social Security system into privately managed retirement accounts. "I do not support privatization of Social Security, but there should be a discussion of all of the options," Ayotte said.

As for entitlements, Ayotte supports reform of Social Security and Medicare and said any change in benefits should only affect younger workers. "There is no one change that is going to solve this for us," Ayotte said.

We must protect Social Security

Those who have provided for our needs and our safety deserve our support.
We must protect Social Security, Medicare, and supportive services for veterans including health care.
