Joe Biden’s family crest ought to carry the motto “If you can’t blind them with brilliance, baffle them with bs”:
Joe Biden: ‘We Have to Go Spend Money to Keep From Going Bankrupt’
Vice President Joe Biden told people attending an AARP town hall meeting that unless the Democrat-supported health care plan becomes law the nation will go bankrupt and that the only way to avoid that fate is for the government to spend more money.
“And folks look, AARP knows and the people with me here today know, the president knows, and I know, that the status quo is simply not acceptable,” Biden said at the event on Thursday in Alexandria, Va. “It’s totally unacceptable. And it’s completely unsustainable. Even if we wanted to keep it the way we have it now. It can’t do it financially.”
“We’re going to go bankrupt as a nation,” Biden said.
“Now, people when I say that look at me and say, ‘What are you talking about, Joe? You’re telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?’” Biden said. “The answer is yes, that’s what I’m telling you.”
As Doug put it,
Or we could slash taxes by 25% and hack the size of government by 50%. It’s not like anyone would notice the latter.
But the blacks left are the cool kind. They have interior designers taking cues from Simple Living, voted against allowing the JROTC to remain in the schools and probably work for one of those really interesting start ups where the latte is free and you can park your skateboard under your recycled bamboo desk. And they listen to jazz and NPR. You know, the right sort.
Oops this should have been with the second post on Harry Alford.
