From the Green Bay Press. Just a couple of comments.
Some of the issues from the debate
Didn't Kagen tout pay go in 2006? Didn't he also promise a smaller government, a more ethical, a more hard working congress. We will get more done is what I remember. Even still, how much has he saved the taxpayers of the 8th since 2006. How is your 401 K doing? It's his record he has to show and it doesn't look pretty! Sorry, didn't he raise the minimum wage? I think he did. That sure helped the people at New Page.
Break up OPEC, It's a good soundbite but just shows Mr. Kagen is reaching Is he running scared? Did Kagen still say he wouldn't drill in ARWR? Drill Baby Drill!
Safety net for dairy farmers? How many dairy farms are under 50 cow herds in Wisconsin? How much of your tax dollars is being given to these big mega farms? I can see spending some funds to promote exports of Wisconsin's # 1 industry but why do tax payers have to flip the bill. "Food assistance and nutrition education" is code for, spend more tax dollars to give free food to those who choose not to work and pad the teachers pockets.
People are starting to realize that global warming double speak from Steve Kagen is bogus! "Invest in research to decrease carbon dioxide emission" is code for HE WANTS TO TAKE YOUR CAR! First he will give you $6.00 gal gas and then tell you because of the environment we have to take your car away from you!
By the way, how many times did Steve Kagen cough when John Gard was speaking. I will say 18 times. Pass the Vick's 44.
