After the 'Gang of Six' member Kent Conrad released a budget framework that comes closer to the draconian Ryan budget than the more reasonable proposals on the table such as the CPC People's Budget, Arshad Hasan, Executive Director of Democracy for America reacts:

"The last thing that Americans need for Democrats to do right now is to follow any of the radical recommendations from the Republican House budget. There are real alternatives out there to reduce the deficit where everyone pays their fair share and does not just require extreme sacrifice from the middle class. This is not about creating consensus between colleagues in the DC lunch room. This is about creating a budget that works for the American people."
