fabo - in poll Rich Nugent Nugent's criticism isn't constructive
Right on cue, U.S. Rep. Richard Nugent posts his criticisms of Vice President Joe Biden's visit to Pasco County to promote the jobs plan. Mr. Nugent laments, "Where on Earth are they going to get that money?" As usual, Mr. Nugent offers criticism and not one solution.
Simply closing the corporate tax loopholes and eliminating the Bush-era tax breaks for the wealthiest 1 percent would provide a significant amount of that money. Leading economists have urged Congress to take such action. But rather than stand up for the citizens of his district and do the ...

When we asked the crowd that packed the small room how many there would be willing to go to jail for Turner, many raised their hands and said they would.
That's what Pasco Housing employees are saying as many took a vacation day and packed the emergency board meeting so some opposed to Karen Turner could not get in. It appeared to be the way the board liked ...

SITREP - March 11th, 2013
Well folks, we’re smack dab in the middle of the annual budget season in Washington… or at least we’re supposed to be.
We got word on Friday that the President’s budget request will be arriving in Congress approximately two months late. The Senate budget proposal, assuming it arrives, will be approximately four years late. The House budget proposal, whether everyone agrees with it or not, will be published about a full month before it is due. I’ll leave the interpretation of those facts to you.
As I have for the past two years, I testified before the House Budget Committee last week about the budget priorities for America’s seniors (representing a district with one of the highest proportion of retirees in the country means I get a real say on the matter).
