Google the voting record of the House on this spending bill and see how it basically went along party lines. Rich Nugent who represents The Villages voted in favor of it.

Did Rep Nugent discuss this amendment to the spending bill when he held his town hall meetings before the recent election? If so, what was the reaction by the seniors in attendance?
The good news is, as I read it, this bill will not effect anyone age 80 or over, so it seems congress is encouraging people to work into their 80's which would lighten the load on social security.
With people losing up to 50% of what they thought their pensions would be or what they are now collecting, this cannot be good news for the future expansion of The Villages.
