So we have an alternative to the Ryan budget, that eliminates the deficit, that secures Medicare, yet get's no play in the press.


We need to hype this plan.

1. Well, when you have a "progressive" party...

..that has no actual progressives in any position of power, is it any wonder that it gets no play? I'd be curious if someone could answer the question as to how many times has the president mentioned the Ryan plan in speeches or in interviews or whatever versus How many times has he mentioned the Progressive Caucus plan? When the person with arguably the biggest megaphone of anyone in the Democratic party also treats it as a non-starter while consistently aknowledging the Ryan plan as the benchmark, it's hard to argue that press are the only ones at fault.

And if I'm wrong and he has been mentioning the Progressive caucus plan frequently, and someone can show me that is the case I'll gladly admit to being wrong and will eat the appropriate amount of crow.

2. Spread the word and keep Progressive Caucus Budget very

visible on the Net.

Miller worked in OMB under Pres. Clinton.
From a strictly budgetary perspective, the numbers
add up. It reduces the deficit in 10 years.

Both Obama's and Ryan's do not add up. RYAN's
increases the deficit.

Democrats are still in control, the Progressive
Budget should at least be permitted to see the light
of day. Sure it reflects Progressive Values.
Ryan's reflect Far Right Values.
