The Budget for All
 
Budget of the Congressional Progressive Caucus 
Fiscal Year 2013 

The Budget for All puts Americans back to work, charts a path to 
responsible deficit reduction, enhances our economic competitiveness, 
rebuilds the middle class and invests in our future. Our budget makes no 
cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security benefits, and asks those 
who have benefited most from our economy to pay a sensible share. 

Our Budget Puts Americans Back to Work 

Our budget attacks America�s persistently high unemployment levels with 
more than $2.9 trillion in additional job-creating investments. This 
plan utilizes every tool at the government�s disposal to get our economy 
moving again, including: 
Direct hire programs that create a School Improvement Corps, a Park 
Improvement Corps, and a Student Jobs Corps, among others. 
Targeted tax incentives that spur clean energy, manufacturing, and 
cutting-edge technological investments in the private sector. 
Widespread domestic investments including an infrastructure bank, a $556 
billion surface transportation bill, and approximately $2.1 trillion in 
widespread domestic investment. 

Our Budget Exhibits Fiscal Discipline 

The Budget for All achieves $6.8 trillion in deficit reduction, hits the 
same debt to GDP ratio as the Republican budget, and has lower deficits 
in the last five years, but does so in a responsible way that does not 
devastate what Americans want preserved. 

We achieve these notable benchmarks by focusing on the true drivers of 
our deficit � unsustainable tax policies, the wars overseas, and 
policies that helped cause the recent recession � rather than putting 
the middle class�s social safety net on the chopping block. 

Our Budget Creates a Fairer America 
Ends tax cuts for the top 2% of Americans on schedule at year�s end 
Extends tax relief for middle class households and the vast majority of
  Americans 
Creates new tax brackets for millionaires and billionaires 
Eliminates the tax code�s preferential treatment of capital gains and
  dividends 
Abolishes corporate welfare for oil, gas, and coal companies 
Eliminates loopholes that allow businesses to dodge their true tax
  liability 
Calls for the adoption of the �Buffett Rule� 
Creates a publicly funded federal election system that gets corporate
  money out of politics for good. 

Our Budget Brings Our Troops Home 
Responsibly and expeditiously ends our military presence in Iraq and
  Afghanistan, leaving America more secure at home and abroad 
Modernizes our military to address 21st century threats and stop
  contributing to our deficit problems 

Protects American Families 
Provides a Making Work Pay tax credit for families struggling with high
  gas and food cost 2013-2015 
Extends Earned Income Tax Credit, and the Child and Dependent Care
  Credit 
Invests in programs to stave off further foreclosures to keep families
  in their homes 
Invests in our children�s education by increasing Education, Training,
  and Social Services
