Deficit Squawks: A Mouthpiece for Far-Right Special Interests

Deficit squawks like the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, Americans for Prosperity, American Enterprise Institute, and Heritage Foundation are funded by corporate and far-right special interests bent on dismantling vital and popular safety net programs — by creating what even they admit is an "artificial crisis" around the deficit.

Deficit squawks pipe up whenever key investments in the economy are on the table — screeching especially loudly whenever low-income, disabled, Black, or brown communities stand to benefit.

Biases and ulterior motives drive the irresponsible policies these groups have been peddling for decades — they are neither "experts," nor "objective," despite their claims. 

Corporate-funded deficit squawks are pushing a narrative that benefits wealthy C-suite executives at the expense of everyone else. Time to shoo them away for good.
