Steve Kagen on his vote for the 825 billion dollar stimulus bill
If there are many benefits, what are they? Here is his response to the many benefits
That's all he could mention! 50 mil for school programs and construction, 7 mil for Appleton schools and 17 for Green Bay. Schools and construction jobs and when will those jobs come on line?
What about the clerk stocking shelves at the grocery store, what about the guy taking my money at the gas station. What about the mill worker putting in 12 hour days, what about that fireman that just stood out in the below zero temp to put out someone house fire? What jobs will the laid off New Page workers in Niagara and Kimberly find or get with this stimulus bill?
What about the people making bread, cheese, milking cows, those's that "Serve and protect", What will it do for the people that work hard everyday for their families.
Good medicine is first taking care of the people and groups that gave to Steve Kagen campaign donations. The rest will get crumbs. You will get your $500.00 and think Steve Kagen saved your life. What will you do when that is gone and you have no job? How will you feed your family. What specific jobs will this 825 billion do for the common person?
It's a shame, Mr. Kagen forgot to mention money for,
• $8 billion on “renewable energy” projects, which have a low or negative return
• $7 billion for “modernizing federal buildings and facilities”
• $6 billion on urban transit systems, dominated by unions and which, almost universally, lose money
• $2.4 billion for “carbon-capture demonstration projects
• $1 billion for Amtrak, the federal railroad that’s run in the red for 40 years
• $600 million on new cars for government (added to the $3 billion already spent each year)
• $400 million for “global-warming research”
• $50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts.
Oh he must of forgot, or did he not want to tell you about the billions of dollars that will not create jobs in northeastern Wisconsin.
The common people of the 8th district will see in six months, maybe a year from now how they all got taken by the flimflam man from Appleton. He thinks you believe anything.
Steve Kagen on his vote for the 825 billion dollar stimulus bill
"Rep. Steve Kagen pitches pluses of federal economic stimulus package

U.S. Rep. Steve Kagen, D-Appleton, said he cast his vote in favor of an expansive economic stimulus package because it was the "right medicine" for the times.
"It's an investment we need to make to stimulate our economy," Kagen said Wednesday in a phone interview from Washington, D.C., minutes before the U.S. House of Representatives put the $825 billion bill up for a vote.
Kagen said the plan has many benefits for Wisconsin and especially the northeastern part of the state, where distressed constituents have been flooding him with calls in telephone town hall meetings.
If there are many benefits, what are they? Here is his response to the many benefits
# Pump $50 million in tax revenue into northeast Wisconsin school programs and construction.
# Provide Appleton schools with an additional $7 million and Green Bay schools $17 million.
