I just don't believe it, until a reliable source is quoted. It may have come from a trouble making Republican source.

But I do believe Medicare cuts, because Obama's initial plan offered to Boehner had $450M in Medicare cuts (not age eligibility being raised). I knew Medicare cuts would be done. That's been clear for a while now.

Well, I see in another post that Ezra Klein seems to have inside info that the CPI thing in Social Security is the major concession. I hope that's not true. I'll be really upset if it is.
