On the spending side, the Democrats’ headline concession will be accepting chained-CPI, which is to say, accepting a cut to Social Security benefits. Beyond that, the negotiators will agree to targets for spending cuts.

Also, our perpetual madness to pay people not to work (the Endless Unemployment Check) will continue.

Looks like raising the age for Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security is out (it will be "discussed" in the future.....yeah right)
