Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–June 6, 2013. America’s fiscal and economic landscape has shifted significantly over the past three years, but the budget debate in Washington has yet to catch up to the facts, according to a new report released today by the Center for American Progress. Entitled “It’s Time to Hit the Reset Button on the Fiscal Debate,” the report argues that deficit reduction should no longer be Washington’s primary economic concern, and it calls on policymakers to refocus on pro-growth investments and immediate measures to boost job creation. Included in the report is a proposal to replace the damaging and counterproductive sequester with a reasonable, manageable plan that includes some upfront investment in economic growth.
