Right-Wing Babalu On Tampa International Airport

"Strangely enough, Tampa airport is actually proud and boasting about becoming a business partner of the vile, murderous, criminal, and repressive Castro dictatorship. Go figure.".....Alberto de la Cruz

Castro sounds just like our Republicans. Go figure.

The People's Budget

Budget of the Congressional Progressive Caucus
The People's Budget would eliminate the deficit sooner than either the proposed Obama or Ryan Budgets and raise a $31 billion surplus in ten years. It would end the main budget deficit drivers - the Bush tax cuts and Middle East wars; restore progressive income and estate taxes; add negotiation of bulk drug rates to Medicare and preserve Medicare, Medicaid Social Security; eliminate tax subsidies for oil, gas and coal companies; close loopholes for multinational corporations; and tax speculative financial transactions. All are goals supported by the majority of people.

Investigate Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi

It's bad enough Gov. Rick Scott is hard at work dismantling key consumer protections, but now he has a partner: our own Attorney General Pam Bondi. She seems to think her first duty is to protect some of Gov. Scott’s biggest corporate pals – the banks – instead of hard working Floridians. Recently Bondi fired Florida’s two leading attorneys investigating the epidemic of foreclosure fraud ravaging our communities.

Sustainable Biodiesel Comes To Florida Keys

Jeff Lillie says it takes about 24 hours in about a 40-step process to turn used vegetable oil into eco-friendly biodiesel that can be used in boats and cars. At age 59, he says his motive is not to get rich but to do his part to help the environment, especially the ocean.

Feeding the Rich

A timely reminder, with numbers and visuals, that our current "debt crisis" in no way had to happen. If corporations and the rich simply paid taxes at the same rate as they did in 1961 - with Bush-era policies primarily to blame for their decline - the debt would vanish.
