The budget we wish the president would adapt: The People's Budget

The president said all the right things with his speech, but he always acts like a republican. Not the change I'm looking for. He also is either a terrible negotiator on behalf of the public good (even the latest extension cut almost a billion from the EPA, fracking radiation and BP oil disasters not withstanding...) or consciously on the other side without bothering to make that public.

If he was a really good negotiator he would start with this budget and probably end up with the budget he just articulated. But he hasn't been. Or its on purpose. Two bad options.

One of the first petitions against Corbett's drive to destroy both public and college education

This is one of the first petitions I've seen against Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett's extraordinary public school and college cuts. Some of those cuts disproportionally affect poorer schools by the way. Way to kick those poor kids when they're already down. Meanwhile, we're still waiting for an alternative democratic party budget that restores taxes to the rich. Waiting out here...
