Looks like we've got us a Grand Bargain in the making.

Just keep in mind that "tax reform" and tax hikes aren't the same thing. In fact, if the unsuccessful deficit commission report (as predicted, used as the "new bipartisan baseline")is any guide, the things they will agree upon are the elimination of arcane loopholes which will swiftly be replaced by new ones and ending middle class breaks like the mortgage interest deduction. But don't let that get in the way of a glorious agreement that will really start hurting citizens long after most of these people are well in their retirements, comfortably counting their millions, or in their graves.
