What the Public Really Wants Archive
Congress is in the middle of a battle over the budget for fiscal year 2008, which in fact began on October 1, 2007. The two sides of this debate represent quite different views about the priorities that should be reflected in the federal budget—views that have clashed repeatedly throughout the Bush presidency. Both sides, of course, have claimed throughout that they are merely carrying out the public’s wishes on government spending and taxation. That’s why, in the midst of this latest budget battle, it’s a good time to set the record straight about which side really does align with the public’s budget priorities. In this latest What the Public Really Wants brief, Ruy Teixeira answers this question. Download the report here.
