I don't think this scenario is likely, but it certainly is possible. Revenue and GDP figures come from the CRFB projection. Social Security and Medicare come from the "high-cost" projections. Medicaid increases at a 8.3% rate, which comes from the trustee report. "Other" increases at 4%, which is less than Revenue and GDP increases.
Update 6/19/12: This is model J-6, and it is too pessimistic.
