Romney is doing. The "trust bill", does not have the majority of Democrats in House on that, and I don't see Pelosi allowing Romney's "bill" to stand

As for the Senate, I think there are at least 3 Democrats for Romney's bill, maybe at most 5. Majority of Democrats in the Senate or House are not going to go for cuts in Social Security and Medicare, and I don't believe the House will accept that
