the buffoon's own way of saying "You didn't build that..."

Vice-President and potential contender for the 2016 Democratic nomination for President, Joe Biden rejected contentions that individual freedom is crucial to economic growth.
“I know a lot of people keep insisting that it is America's free market and individual rights that account for this country's phenomenal economic growth, but is that really the case?” Biden asked. “Look at the rapid economic growth achieved by the Soviet Union during the 1930s and 40s. By mobilizing armies of human labor to build canals and mine metals they were able to transform perishable human resources into the durable infrastructure that vaulted the country from a backward agrarian-based economy to a world super power.”
The Vice-President wondered whether “their divergence from that strategy might be a factor in Russia's recent decline from its pinnacle of rivalry with the United States. Perhaps their attempts to emulate our freer markets are misguided.”
Biden suggested that “maybe it's time we rethink our mindless devotion to individualism in this country. The choices that many individuals make when decisions are left up to them are often frivolous and anti-social. Consumers don't want to go 'green' because it's more costly. They don't want to use public transit because it's less convenient. How long should we allow such selfish concerns to warp our economy?”

!!!SATIRE!!!!
Everything this administration does is satire.
Got me, John!
I was thinking this is a perfect example of the stupid things he says that disqualifies him from the Presidency. The clearly belongs in the “Fake, But Accurate” column.
In other news.
Joe Biden, in preparation for his up-coming 2016 Presidential run, has decided to re-write his autobiography to include the life experiences of Trayvon Martin, Justin Bieber and Sandra Fluke.
What the hell would a democrat know about economic growth they only specialize in debt.
