96 House Democrats\u2014a majority\u2014voted \u201cyes\u201d on the People\u2019s Budget, why were you one of the 86 House Democrats to vote against it? As your constituent, I would like an explanation.<\/p>\n

I was upset that the People’s budget paid homage to the Republican myth that the deficit must be reduced.\u00a0 The only two methods that the myth recognizes is either cutting spending in other areas to offset increased spending in the areas of the people’s budget, or raise tax revenues.<\/p>\n
