including Rachel Maddow:
I don't sign a lot of petitions and when I do I don't usually send them to everybody I know, and almost never to people I don't "know", but would like to . . . but this is different. Could use your support on this.


The 5 Things to Know: Budget Proposals from Paul Ryan, the Senate, and Congressional Progressive Caucus
http://nationalpriorities.org/en/blog/2013/03/14/5-things-know-paul-ryan-budget-senate-budget-and-congressional-progressive-caucus/

1. The budgets differ about whether deficit reduction should be a central goal

For Rep. Ryan and the House, deficit reduction is a major goal, while the CPC made job creation the centerpiece – something reflected in its title, "Back to Work." Again, Senate Democrats did a little bit of both – some new spending on job creation and job training initiatives and some deficit reduction. But together these budgets indicate that there's no clear consensus that deficit reduction should be the central goal. Indeed, while 72 percent of Americans listed deficits as a top priority, some 95 percent said the same about restoring the job market
