On Tuesday,
the Republicans released their budget. It was even worse than expected.
It seeks to balance the budget on the backs of working and poor
Americans.
The
GOP budget cuts Medicare and Medicaid. It slashes funds for nursing
homes. It targets the most vulnerable. Food stamps, Head Start, Pell
grants for college, support for impoverished schools are all on the
block.
It increases military spending by $40 billion next year alone. And cuts taxes on the wealthy and multinational corporations.
Congress
will vote on dueling budgets next week. Endorse the CPC proposal and
let wavering Members of Congress (especially Democrats) know that you
are among millions of voters who support the People’s Budget.
The
People’s Budget makes investments vital to our future. It modernizes
our infrastructure and makes preschool and college available to all. In
the next decade, it will create 8 million jobs. It pays for this by
reducing bloated Pentagon budgets, and ensuring the rich and
corporations pay their fair share of taxes.
It
is time for Congress to hear that Americans want a new course. We know
the deck is stacked. We want a straight deal. Join us as a citizen
co-sponsor of the CPC People’s Budget.
Thank you for your commitment
