With the subtitle “A Roadmap for the Resistance,” the Congressional Progressive Caucus’ “People’s Budget,” isn’t shy about its purpose in the Trump Era.

The People’s Budget is a yearly wish list of the Congressional Progressive Caucus meant to show what their priorities would be if the left wing of the Democratic Party was in power. Since that is far from the case, the proposals in the budget are unlikely to become policy in the near future.
