host: jennifer shutt? guest: in order to move any social security legislation through congress, it would need to be bipartisan. that is not one of the areas that you can move their budget reconciliation, that fast-track process that republicans used to pass their tax bill. you can do medicare and medicaid through a reconciliation process, not social security. party you have the same controlling the house and a super majority in the senate, you would need that legislation to be bipartisan. whether or not republicans right anything in their budget resolution that would call for changes to the social security trust fund, i think that remains to be seen. we're still sort of on the fence about whether or not there is going to be a markup in the house or the senate on budget resolution legislation. one thing i would remind individuals about is that a budget resolution is not a bill and is not signed into law. any budget resolution that calls for changes to social security, you then need the authorizing committee
