Biden Blasts Economy; 'Devastating For Workers,' 'i'm Mad, I'm Angry!'
[GRABIEN] Sounding very much like a candidate for president, today Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body...
spoke at an AFL-CIO Labor Day event in Pittsburgh, Pa. "I'm mad, I'm angry," Biden thundered, attacking the U.S. economy as "devastating for workers."

Biden, who is openly considering running against Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as The Heroine of Tuzla and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another William H. Seward ...
in the Democratic primary, thanked "my friend" Richard Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO. "

"There wouldn't be a single basic right, from a 40-hour week to sick leave, there wouldn't a single basic right out there ... but for labor," Biden said. "You build the middle class. That's not an exaggeration."

The vice president also attacked growing inequality.

"Let me tell you something, man," Biden said. "The tax code's not fair. The wealthy aren't paying their fair share."

"Today 1 percent of Americans owns 40 percent of all wealth in America," the vice president said. "A level playing field doesn't exist."

"It's the way the tax code has been setup," Biden charged.

#1  "It's the way the tax code has been setup," Biden charged.

This after hiding a massive income tax increase in the ACA, which will hit the middle class hard next spring.

Biden and his ilk are consummate bullsh*t artists.

#2  He's the best the Democrats can do. And if the American people are stupid enough to elect Obama and consider a cut the Cheese like Hillary, they will be stupid enough to put up a total Squirrel as President.
Remember "Breck Boy" Edwards and Kerry groping one another out on the campaign trail. ? There is no end to it for Democrats.
Where does the Democratic Party GET its supply of rancid med gobblling Bozos?

#3  I've a plan to save your country---forbid air-conditioning in DC public buildings.

#5  Take it up with your boss Joe.

#6  Right on Mr. G. LBJ and the Great Society began as air conditioning moved into use everywhere(and food stamps). Kept-em off the streets. Always on those hot summer city days trouble developed. In DC the humidity would shut things down in summer. Pull the plug and they will go home. Narrow stairways. Too hot to go up to second floor. City people spent the evenings on the front stoops. Seemed it took hours to cool down. Then it started all over again next day.

#7  ...now there's an example of Man Made Climate Change I could support reversing. No AC for DC.

#8  Biden is angry.
Hilarity will get us on the right track.
Bernie reminds us how high unemployment is.

Am I in an alternate universe? Does Spock have a beard? Is there currently a Republican president?

#9  No. But it's all Bush's fault.

#10  #8 - over at Instaprof there's this posting -

DEMOCRATS SEE NO IRONY IN RUNNING AGAINST THEMSELVES: Well, that’s often the case when a Democrat running for president has to run against while the current Democrat is still in office making a mess of the country with his socialist policies — Bobby Kennedy ran in ’68 in opposition to not just only the escalation of the Vietnam War by LBJ, but also against the sunny “can do” optimism of his brother’s New Frontier. In 2000, Al Gore rejected Bill Clinton’s centrist policies and their success; as Michael Kinsley noted immediately before the election, the punitive leftism of Gore boiled down to an attitude of “You’ve never had it so good, and I’m mad as hell about it.”

Remember for the Left, there is only one fundamental precept - power.

#11  Mr. Hair Plugs aka "Gaff Machine Galore" will be most amusing to watch run.

Look out ladies, he also gropes.

#12  #3 I've a plan to save your country---forbid air-conditioning in DC public buildings.

I like it.

Yes, Dr. White, we are going through a period where an alternate universe has become the reality.

#13  He's running against his own economy. Fun. Gore, at least, was offering 4 more years of the same, but no Democrat can run on Obama's record. Should be a fun cycle, if we can manage to nominate a not completely idiotic candidate this time.

#14  The Democrats wants to prove again and again that we the people are stupid.
We can not remember who is Biden's boss.

#15  Newest Biden Campaign Slogan: "no more Muslims in the whitehouse" -- I am Joe Biden and I approve this message

#16  Maybe Joe will try to convince us Champ didn't always follow his advice.

So whose advice *did* he follow, Joe?

#17  Procopius2k, It could be the Democrats always bash their own in those situations because the Democrat in power leaves a mess and everyone knows it even if they still love them.

#18  The MSM is looking at Biden, Gore, Kerry, + at last check even Mike Dukakis to run =
MEMBERS OF A POTUS HILLARY'S ADMIN???

The US DemoLeft + aligned going all out to bury the accomplishments of the Reagan-Bush41 era???

NATIONAL-GLOBAL ANARCHY + STRATEGIC SELF-RETREAT = MARXIST-SOCIALIST-GLOBALIST "SUCCESS"???

#19  Khrushchev blasted Stalin, Brezhnev blasted Khrushchev, Andropov blasted Brezhnev...

Nothing new here.
