Here's The Back To Work Budget!

The Congressional Progressive Caucus has released details about its "Back To Work Budget."  This is an exciting alternative to the draconian GOP Ryan Budget.  Back to work creates seven million new jobs in one year and cuts the deficit by $4.4 trillion.  It does it by raising taxes on higher wages and investments, restoring grants to the states to enable rehiring of thousands of laid-off teachers, police, firemen, and social workers, and cutting military spending (particularly bringing the troops home from Afghanistan).  It will be proposed as an amendment to the Ryan Budget.  Click the link to learn about it.
