If SOOOO, if you would like to see all these things and more
-- then you need to get up to speed with The People's Budget:
A Raise for America [FY16]
8.4 million good paying jobs by 2018
$1.9 trillion investment in America’s future
$820 billion infrastructure and transportation improvements
This
People's Budget is scored
as most effective, by the The Economic Policy Institute.
And it provides more than empty promises, that you will get from those other guys.
It is long past time that this Budget for the People, proposed by The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC), got its fair share of dialog "air time."
Otherwise, how will casual Voters ever really know -- that there IS a difference?
And that their vote does matter -- especially if they too want the things, being suggested by the People's Caucus ... (as opposed to the status quo representatives of Wall Street.)
