I wish. The Progressive Caucus budget, considerately off the median, called for about $51 billion in new domestic spending (gross), as well as a bunch of cuts in domestic spending. Fed budget is about $1,800 billion. I have *never* heard a Member of Congress call for "massive increases in social spending" or "radical labor law reform."
