Congressional Progressive Caucus Co-Chairs Raul M. Grijalva and Keith Ellison Respond to President Obama's Deficit Reduction Plan
September 19, 2011

The president's determination to reduce the large national debt that he inherited after years of costly wars, unchecked defense spending, corporate welfare and giveaways to the wealthy few is admirable.
