Just before the co-chairs of the White House Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform released their recommendations on addressing the federal budget deficit, this alternative commission released its own report. Calling those recommendations “fundamentally misguided,” the Citizens’ Commission aimed at taking the economic debate away from the dangerous direction of austerity.

Note: The Citizens’ Commission was inspired to action in part to challenge the one-sided media coverage lavished on the Simpson-Bowles National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform [7], the Pew-Peterson Commission on Budget Reform [8] and the Bipartisan Policy Center Debt Reduction Task Force [9]. Its deliberations were also informed by recent work by the Economic Policy Institute, especially the report "America’s Economy: A Budget Blueprint for Economic Recovery and Fiscal Responsibility" [10]; a deficit-reduction proposal by Rep. Jan Schakowsky [11], a member of the fiscal responsibility commission, that accomplishes deficit reduction without making cuts to essential federal expenditures that benefit the middle class or are crucial to future growth; and the work of Robert Greenstein [12], president of the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities [13].
This initiative promotes "an economic path that achieves fiscal responsibility without undermining our national strength."

More than 300 economists and major civic leaders publicly shared their grave concern that “austerity economics” will derail an already weak economic recovery. They back a progressive approach that makes putting people back to work the top priority.

These leaders endorsed a statement calling for more government stimulus and tax credits to put Americans back to work. "Making deficit reduction the first target ... will prolong the great recession, harm the social cohesion of the country, and continue inflicting unnecessary hardship on millions of Americans."
