The issue is not a democrat or republican one. The social security trust fund will run out of money within the next year or so. It is questionable whether congress will authorize that funds can be transferred from SS to the SSDI fund.

The title to this thread may mislead some. As I said, both parties are making it clear that the cut may be the only option available if no money is transferred from SS to SSDI. And it is a fact that he numbers of SSDI recipients is growing at a rate hat cannot be covered by the current amount in the SSDI trust fund.
