A Budget Proposal that Reflects the Will of the People

Not the wealthy, not the Tea Party, but the expressed desires of ordinary Americans. We know from multiple polls where ordinary Americans stand on fiscal issues--leave Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid alone, raise taxes on the top income earners, eliminate government handouts to oil companies--the list goes on. Only one of the budget proposals now before Congress deals with these issues in a way that reflects the wishes of ordinary Americans. That's the proposal put forth by the Congressional Progressive Congress. Why is this proposal not getting as much attention as the Ryan proposal, which is aimed at giving a windfall tax cut to the wealthy and ending Medicare and Medicaid as effective programs?
