Only the congressional progressive caucus evidences that they "get" what the people demand, and what needs to be done to begin healing our economy; and it's not further fattening of the corporations and wealthy, like force feeding a goose to produce foie gras!
Only THEY, insist that we must remove all military from Iraq and Afghanistan, as the keystone to spending reduction. That, coupled with cuts in subsidies, tax abatement, closing loopholes and taxing those who have stolen, and now have, all of our money, we have no deficit or debt problems.
"The broad sketch proposes to end the Bush-era tax cuts on high income earners, enact a surtax on millionaires and billionaires, increase the the estate tax and eliminate corporate tax loopholes and subsidies for oil and coal companies. It also aims to create a public health insurance option, end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and invest $1.45 trillion in "job creation," energy, housing and education programs.", as reported in the Raw Story.
Why then, "would ( it ) have a hard time winning over more than a handful of Democrats in the Senate."? Because all of the other Democrats are apparently on the take as much as the Republicans are! Any legislator who does not wholly support the progressive caucus budget, are conspicuously, NOT, advocates for the people!
