Progressive Caucus Releases Sane "Budget For All," Asking 1% to Pay Their Fair Share

Not that anyone in Washington will pay any attention because it doesn't insist that average Americans feel pain and deprivation so the "producers" in society are free to pillage create jobs, but here is the one page outline of the new budget from the Progressive Caucus. Like last year, it actually reduces the deficit much more than Paul Ryan's plan (if anyone actually cares about that.) And it also protects the safety net and stimulates the economy. 

It does ask that the obscenely wealthy people kick in a fair piece of their ill-gotten gains and requires the government to stop fighting useless wars. But I have no problem with that. I would be surprised if most people do.
