“We want to see every Democrat in Congress and The President speaking in support of our values, our needs, our communities and our People's Budget!”

The Budget put forward by the House Progressive Caucus reduces the debt responsibly while protecting Medicare, Social Security and the Middle Class. 

Please know that when you stand firm behind our Party's true Progressive Principles that focus on creating good jobs for the middle class, investing in public education, ending Corporate Welfare and taxing the rich and corporations fairly, that we will all stand with you! 

We will support you, help to raise money for your campaigns and work to get out the vote to elect you! 

We will turn out in huge numbers to support you if you make our best case to the American people! You stand on the shoulders of courageous people like President Franklin D. Roosevelt, President Harry Truman, President John F. Kennedy, Robert and Ted Kennedy, and Reverend Martin Luther King. Men who risked everything to fight to create a Middle Class and defend the rights and dignity of every American! These great leaders knew that when you call on the people of this Country to do great things we answer the call! 

The CPC proposal: 

• Eliminates the deficits and creates a surplus by 2021 

• Puts America back to work with a “Make it in America” jobs program 

• Protects the social safety net 

• Ends the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq 

• Is FAIR (Fixing America’s Inequality Responsibly) 

What the proposal accomplishes: 

• Primary budget balance by 2014. 

• Budget surplus by 2021. 

• Reduces public debt as a share of GDP to 64.1% by 2021, down 16.5 percentage points from a baseline fully adjusted for both the doc fix and the AMT patch. 

• Reduces deficits by $5.6 trillion over 2012-21, relative to this adjusted baseline. 

• Outlays equal to 22.2% of GDP and revenue equal 22.3% of GDP by 2021.
