See what your state would receive in funding from Washington if Congress authorized $87 billion to rebuild America
If President Bush and the slim Republican majority in Congress prioritized jobs and investment in America as they have for Iraq, what would that mean for your state? New reports and op-eds by the Institute for America�s Future and AFSCME can help you lead the public debate in your community.

Another $87 billion to pay for Iraq means teacher layoffs and deficits for American kids. The Bush economic plan and the Bush Iraq plan are now proven failures � and paycheck-earning Americans are being asked to pay the price. Meanwhile, the average millionaire gets a tax break of $93,000.

Our new reports [click the link above] show how much money your state would receive if Congress matched the president�s new $87 billion Iraq request with aid to our states for key priorities, which could easily be paid for by rolling back the Bush tax breaks for the rich. The reports also show how much money your state would receive if legislation now being considered by Congress, the American Parity Act, sponsored by Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL), were passed, investing $20.3 billion in American infrastructure to match funds the president wants to spend on rebuilding Iraq.
