Brilliant Biden Strikes Again

Well, he served his time-out, and Mr. Biden has been taken off the leash and out of the dog house to bark once more. After urging Americans to avoid using airplanes, subways, or any other crowded transportation, lest they all contract H1N1 and die, Biden attempted to make amends by encouraging Americans at the prospect of their continued health.
While addressing perhaps the only major group that isn’t rightly skeptical of Obama’s Health Care scheme, VP Joe Biden had some illuminating thoughts. At the AARP Town Hall meeting in Alexandria, Virginia, Biden had encouraging words and fanciful outlooks to share. “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”. He’s right of course, the status quo still lets too many hard-working Americans keep their money in their pockets. It ios curious he mentioned that to a crowd of retirement community and nursing home residents who very much like the status quo, because anything else gives them indigestion. As legislation moves through to increase the upper income tax bracket rate in New York to 57%, Biden shared his reassuring philosophy with his elderly audience: ““It’s totally unacceptable (not the tax, the current healthcare system). And it’s completely unsustainable, even if we wanted to keep it the way we have it now. It can’t do it financially.” So, will Mr. Biden cut some of the gangrene, dead-end government expenses that will have the system at a deficit by 2016? No, because Obama really likes deficits, and because while Biden admits, ““We’re going to go bankrupt as a nation”, he has the most brilliant of solutions.
After thinking hard for three days and nights and studying all of Keynses’ most celebrated (if unsuccessful) theories, Biden made up his mind: “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? The answer is yes, that's what I’m telling you.”
Ah ha! I didn’t know our public schools were this bad. I did not know that when you have one number and then you take away from it, it’s actually much bigger than it was before. Of course, Biden and his audience don’t have to worry about such trivial arithmetic. By 2016 his regime will long have been ousted, and then they can blame the conservatives for not spending enough money. In the mean time, all of his and Mr. Obama’s supporters in the AARP will had gotten their full doses and died off, leaving the tax burden –err I mean surplus of money to be enjoyed by posterity.
