John,
For two decades, Republican-led Congresses have added trillions of dollars to the national debt through the budget-busting Bush and Trump tax cuts that overwhelmingly benefited the rich and major corporations.
Now they are using that same debt as an excuse to hold the nation hostage by threatening a catastrophic default and recession unless they can force through deeply unpopular budget cuts.
Unfortunately, the inside-the-beltway media is framing the debt ceiling impasse as a choice between Kevin McCarthy's cuts and a federal default. That’s a false choice!
We know we can reduce the national debt and invest in our future when the rich and corporations pay their fair share in taxes. In fact, President Biden put forward a budget just a few months ago that does exactly that.
President Biden and Democratic leadership are fighting back against McCarthy’s cruel cuts, reminding the American people what caused the federal deficit to begin with:
Help us counter the false media narrative and show President Biden and Democrats that we have their backs!
Chip in today to rally the American people and remind Congress that the debt ceiling impasse isn’t about cuts vs. default. We have a third choice: making the rich and corporations pay their fair share of taxes!
Together, we have changed the conversation at dinner tables across the country: for the first time in decades, Americans are talking about unrigging our tax code and investing in working people again. We know that our national grassroots network can defeat Wall Street lobbyists and a conservative media narrative.
Pitch in today to remind Congress that the choice isn’t between cuts and default. We have a third choice: making the rich and corporations pay their fair share of taxes.
