Balancing the Budget is a Progressive Priority
Produktform: E-Buch Text Elektronisches Buch in proprietärem
Progressives need a balanced federal budget more
than Conservatives, because they believe that government has an important role to
play in modern life. Lack of a long term plan to move toward a sustainable
budget crowds out short term Progressive priorities: infrastructure spending,
green technology, education and needed governmental interventions in the short
term to support and improve our weak economy. The federal budget is unsustainable. For all the bluster of the debt ceiling
debate, the plan passed so far does not address the changes most obviously
needed if we are to ever have a balanced budget again: an increase in taxes and
the next steps on health reform to address the biggest driver of our long term
budget deficit, health care costs.
Slowing the rate at which health care costs are growing is a necessary, but not
a sufficient condition to developing a long range balanced budget. You should
ask any politician saying they think a balanced budget is a priority one
question: what is your health reform plan? Without one, they have no hope of
achieving their goal. This book offers progressives solutions to health care reform and a balanced budget, and will be of interest to academics, students and educated readers interested in politics, public policy and government finance.weiterlesen
