The Century Foundation, Demos and EPI  have produced a budget blueprint for economic recovery and fiscal responsibility. The blueprint prioritizes a strong economic recovery because widespread job creation and robust economic growth are essential to successful deficit reduction. Investing in America's Future is a project of Demos, EPI and The Century Foundation. Download Investing In America's Economy here and more information is available on the project's homepage at www.ourfiscalsecurity.org.
