Letter: the Blue Dog Coalition letter:
Source: Blue Dog Coalition letter to the Senate
    Blue Dog budget framework
  • Set tax and spending priorities within a five year budget framework instead of using ten-year budget projections to allow for backloaded tax cuts or spending increases
  • Require all tax or spending initiatives to be fully implemented within the five year budget window
  • Retire over half of the publicly held debt by 2006
  • Devote one-quarter of the [non-Social Security] surplus to tax cuts retroactive to 2001, for a net tax cut of $180 billion from 2001-2006
  • Establish realistic discretionary spending caps which will restrain spending but also provide room to fund new initiatives without relying on unspecified or unrealistic spending.


  • Topic: Budget & Economy
  • Headline: Retire half the public debt by 2006
