Are you saying the President is not going to protect SS and let the top 1% off the hook? Even if Cantor has votes to pass a bill, it's got to go to the Senate and then the President right? So he can veto it if it stinks. Which I think he'd do.
I honestly don't get the hand wringing and moaning about leaked reports and speculation and press releases regarding the talks. We don't know what is going on and won't until someone stands in front of a camera and tells us.........
