Budget
decisions made in Washington this year could have a profound impact our quality
of life for years
to come.
- What’s going on in these tense budget discussions between the President and Congress?
- How will our constituencies be impacted by these discussions?
- What can we do to make sure that our priorities influence these budget decisions?
In the 2012 election, members of dozens of Massachusetts
groups placed the Budget for All public policy question
on the ballot in state and senate districts across the Commonwealth. Democrat,
Republican and Independent
voters in all 90 cities and towns where it was on the ballot voted overwhelming
to send these budget
priorities to Congress and the President: a) Prevent cuts to Medicaid, Social
Security, housing and other
vital programs; b) create and protect jobs by investing in renewable energy,
manufacturing, education
and public services; c) Provide Revenues for these purposes by ending tax breaks
for large corporations
and very high incomes and by redirecting Pentagon spending and bringing all U.S.
troops home
from Afghanistan now. | ||
