The legislation provides more than $5 million in investments to projects, organizations and activities in Northeastern Wisconsin, according to U.S. Rep. Steve Kagen, D-Appleton.

The goose in Washington DC laid a whole lot of golden eggs. $5 million worth of golden eggs.

Green Bay Metro will receive $1.1 million for buses and facilities, Kagen said in a statement released this afternoon.

St. Norbert College will get $910,000 for programs in science, technology, engineering and math.

The bill provides $300,000 for renovations and other updates at the Brown County Library, and $600,000 for the YWCA after-school programs.

Before everyone thanks you Congressman Kagen, let's look at your giveaways.

“These projects were requested by our local leaders who rely on me to bring federal funding back home,” Kagen said. “I am going to bat every day for families and businesses in Northeast Wisconsin and the results show.”

Let's call it what it really is, it's pay back for his special interest groups. Buses do not generate jobs! St Norbert's is the most liberal left leaning college in Wisconsin! It shouldn't even be a Catholic school! What education will create jobs? Wake up people!

The legislation is intended to provide immediate relief to families hit hard during the economic crisis as well as long-term projects to grow the economy.

What families will get immediate help? The family of city of Green Bay with new buses? The family of St Norberts College, yea sure, to pay for teachers raises? The family of the Brown County Library, so people can watch more porn on library computers? $600,000 for families at the Y? Is it to hand out condoms and the morning after pills to teenagers without their parents consent?

It also expands funding for services to veterans, including more mental health services, health care in rural areas and assistance to homeless veterans.

Who is getting the money to help the veterans? ACCORN, AARP's or the SEIU?

Notice how they say the money comes from the Omnibus Appropriations Act! This money is from the stimulus bill Kagen voted for this past spring to generate jobs. Let me correct myself, this is a second stimulus bill. And how many jobs will this create, ten, twenty, maybe thirty jobs?

And who will pay for this spending? Congressman Kagen, take a good look at who will pay for your special interest spending!








Our children and their children will pay for all this! Thank you Congressman Steve Kagen!

Let's look at Aesop's fable from Wiki.

"Story

== A man and his wife had the good fortune to possess a goose which laid a golden egg every day. Lucky though they were, they soon began to think they were not getting rich fast enough, and, imagining the bird must be made of gold inside, they decided to kill it. Then, they thought, they could obtain the whole store of precious metal at once; however, upon cutting the goose open, they found its innards to be like that of any other gooseBold text
[edit] Morals

* Greed destroys the source of good. * Think before you act. * Those who want too much lose everything.

The moral of wanting more and losing everything is similar to that of another Aesop fable called The Dog and the Bone. In the English language, "
