Though the CPC has been putting forth such a budgetary vision for years—proposals routinely ignored by the mainstream media and therefore largely left out of the public debate—this year’s budget has garnered more backing from Democratic members than any previous version.

As Common Dreams reported on Wednesday, congressional Democrats and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) have in recent days ramped up their attacks on the GOP’s attempts to mislead the public with a tax plan that non-partisan analyses have shown would disproportionately favor the top one percent.

Speaking on the House floor Wednesday, Rep Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) contrasted the GOP’s vision with the agenda outlined by the Progressive Caucus.

“The Republican budget says we should invest millions of dollars into tax cuts for millionaires, billionaires, and the largest corporations,” Jayapal said. “The Progressive Caucus budget says we want to invest in people. We believe in working families across this country who want to have a decent life and want to build a better future. I choose investing in the people.”
