We have had a costly and wasteful government shutdown and we still have a budget stalemate. The Republicans want to give a big tax break to the wealthy. They said they wanted to protect children and the future of our society, future generations. But when the President of the United States presented a balanced budget, balanced in 7 years with CBO real numbers, what did they do? They walked away from the table. The President has said he will not go along with that. The President and Democrats are for a balanced budget, but we believe it should not just be a balanced budget, it should also be a fair budget. In truth, in point of fact, we should not have any tax breaks in this budget.
