Daniel,

After the budget battles that have been waged over the last few years, we need a budget that rejects austerity, invests in our retirement security and puts Americans back to work and leaves us all better off. And, this week, the Congressional Progressive Caucus delivered just that with their Better Off Budget.

Separate from the federal budget process, the proposal also endorses expanding Social Security, to create a real prosperity agenda for America and a total rejection of the failed policies of austerity. 

The Better Off Budget reverses the damage done by the across-the-board budget cuts known as the “sequester.” It creates 8.8 million new jobs by investing in job training programs, rebuilding our country’s crumbling infrastructure and providing states with the resources to hire public employees such as police, firefighters and health care workers.

And, the kicker is that this budget still reduces the deficit by more than $4 trillion over ten years.

Become a citizen co-sponsor of the Better Off Budget today!

The Congressional Progressive Caucus’ Better Off Budget reverses the damage that Congress’ austerity obsession has inflicted on hard-working families and restores our economy to its full potential.

We can’t reverse the growing trend of economic inequality in America without addressing the retirement security crisis and without creating new decent paying jobs. And this budget and action plan does both!

Please, join me in becoming a citizen co-sponsor of the Better Off Budget to help Americans find decent jobs and save for our future.

Together, we can create a more secure financial future for all Americans.

Thank you for your continued support,

Michael Phelan
