Mr. President, FIGHT for the "PEOPLE'S BUDGET."


Mr. President, FIGHT for the "PEOPLE'S BUDGET."
The Issue
The People's Budget... RAISES TAXES on the RICH, tames health care costs (including a PUBLIC OPTION), negotiates LOWER PRESCRIPTION costs, PROTECTS Medicare, CUTS MILITARY SPENDING (bring them home)... among other things.
COPY of the ACTUAL BUDGET: http://snetcentral.com/PeoplesBudget.pdf ;
The People's Budget is "humane, responsible, and most of all sensible, reflecting the true values of the American people and the real needs of the floundering economy. Unlike Paul Ryan's almost absurdly vicious attack on the poor and working class, the People's Budget would close the deficit by raising taxes on the rich, taming health care costs (including a public option), and ending the military spending on wars and wasteful weapons systems." - world renowned economist Dr. Jeffery Sachs.
"By raising tax revenues to 22.3 percent of GDP by 2021, the People's Budget closes the budget deficit while protecting the poor and promoting needed investments in education, health care, roads, power, energy, and the environment in order to raise America's long-term competitiveness. The People's Budget thereby achieves what Ryan does not: the combination of fairness, efficiency, and budget balance." - Rep. Michael Honda (D-Calif.)
In one opinion survey after another, the public clearly says that the rich and the corporations should pay (more) taxes; we should control runaway health care costs through a public option (creating competition to drive down private health insurance costs) and that we should get out of Iraq and Afghanistan and reduce Pentagon spending.
The fact is that the People's Budget is the public's position - across party lines. That's why it is truly a centrist initiative, at the broad center of the US political spectrum. Ryan soley reflects the wishes of the rich and the far right while crushing the poor and middle class.
Only the People's Budget speaks to the broad needs and values of the American people.
The People WANT, and our country urgently NEEDS the "People's Budget."
We need the PRESIDENT to FIGHT for the "People's Budget."
