Bloomberg TV says the new deal being floated is about $600 billion in new revenue

Obama initially wanted $1.2 to $1.6 trillion or somewhere thereabouts. Boehner's Plan B was about $800 billion in new revenue. So this new deal is $200 billion less than Boehner's Plan B deal which many Dems didn't think contained enough revenue.

There it is.
