Wisconsin Jobs, It's Defense Spending Stupid

From Try 2 Focus who gives us good news for some workers and businesses in Wisconsin.

What does Oshkosh Truck and Pierce have in common?
"Some good news for the Fox Valley.

Another military contract is going to a Northeastern Wisconsin company.

Pierce Manufacturing in Appleton says the U.S. Navy placed a $10 million order for 29 specialized fire trucks and two hazardous-material vehicles.

Pierce makes a range of fire trucks that have also been used in large cities, particularly helping to rebuild the New York Fire Department’s fleet after 9/11, and specialized trucks for fighting wildfires and airport fires.

The news comes just two days after Oshkosh Corporation was awarded a one-billion dollar defense contract of its own.

Hopefully it translates into more jobs in the region." Pierce Manufacturing wins military contract « Try 2 Focus

Answer, both contracts are out of the defense budget, not the stimulus bill. With all the money we are spending from the stimulus , where are the jobs?

Where is the MSM on this. Will Steve Kagen take credit for these two contracts and say the stimulus bill is creating jobs?

MSM, the stimulus is not working!
