U.S. Budget Process: Speak out for the People's Budget

The following information is from Progressive Democrats of America.

"The debate on the People's Budget took place on Friday morning, April 15.  Thanks to you, 77 members of Congress voted to advance the People's Budget. 

This is the only budget that does everything this country needs:
*  Creates good-paying jobs
*  Fully maintains our social safety net
*  Invests in education
*  Ends our costly wars
*  Closes the tax loopholes that have made offshoring jobs profitable
*  Ends oil and gas subsidies that pollute our country at taxpayer expense
*  Creates a national infrastructure investment bank to help us make intelligent investments for the future.

This  is one of those occasions we all hope that we'll live to see:  We really can make a difference right now if we speak up loudly with one voice."
