To: President Donald Trump
Tell President Obama: Don’t buckle!
Fight for the best deal for the middle class in the fiscal "cliff" negotiations by following these principles:
1. Reject damaging cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid beneficiaries;
2. Allow tax breaks for the wealthiest two percent to expire;
3. Invest in short term spending to spur job creation;
4. Ensure a 1-to-1 ratio of revenues to cuts; and
5. Be willing to take no deal in the short term to get a better deal for the middle class.
