What to do about the Budget?

        Republican policies are the main cause of our national debt. More than 70% of our current debt was rung up under Republican presidents who spent like a drunken sailor on unfunded wars, military expansion, the National Security State, the Big Pharma Giveaway Medicare Prescription Drug boondoggle under Bush, and the $700 billion TARP Bailout (yep, that was Bush). All without paying for any of it. Now we're being offered a choice:

Ryan Republican Budget Plan:

·      Kill Medicare

·      Cut Social Security

·      Kill Medicaid

·      Cut Unemployment Insurance

·      Cut Essential Services

·      Give yet more huge tax breaks to the super rich and giant corporations
IN OTHER WORDS, GIVE EVEN MORE TO THE RICH WHILE TAKING IT FROM THE POOR, THE ELDERLY, CHILDREN, AND WORKING PEOPLE

Progressive Democratic Budget Plan:

·      Strengthen Health Care Reform by adding public option

·      Preserve and Strengthen Medicare and Medicaid by controlling runaway health care costs

·      Keep Social Security as a sacred trust with the American People

·      Preserve Essential Services

·      Expand Investment in Infrastructure to Create New Jobs

·      Increase income ceiling subject to payroll tax to pay for Social Security

·      Restore higher taxes on those who can best afford them

·      Cut non-essential military spending and end wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya

·      End tax havens and loopholes for big corporations, oil, and agribusiness 
IN OTHER WORDS, RESTORE
                             AMERICA FOR EVERYONE
