(CNSNews.com) – 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.”

I’m taking bets on the date Biden gets carted off in a straight jacket.
And Joe believes that.
Any wonder why the country is crashing and burning?
We need to keep buying guns and ammunition in order to disarm ourselves. Same logic. Different people.
Yup...we also need to have sex in order to stop making children.
We need to spend more money to save it. Stupid.
Obama pirate song “What can you do with a drunken spender, what can you do with a drunken spender....”
........and there IS a segment of our society who will BELIEVE this...
Hey Joe-THE NATION IS ALREADY BANKRUPT!
I believe they're called Democrats.
Yes Sir, that WOULD be true!

>How these buffoons rise so high is beyond me
I think it’s because skeet/buffoon-hunting is frowned upon...
If I didn't know better, I would think that the administration puta him up to saying this stuff, just to take the edge off.
"Hey Joe, things are getting bad again. Go back out there and say something stupid."
All this talk by Obama and Biden that current health care cost is “unsustainable” couldn’t be any clearer that they plan drastic rationing to bail out medicare and the new atrocity of Obamacare.
The one thing that is true in the article is that Joe was at an AARP meting. The rest of it has no connection to reality.
Joe is just the gift that keeps on giving isn’t he?
You can’t make this stuff up.
I think Joe and Barbara Boxer should run together. A perfect pair.
Of buffoons and clowns.
Damn! No wonder I can't get caught up on my bills. I'm not spending enough...LOL!
Someone call a Doctor, Joey has his foot lodged down his own throat again.
One heartbeat away from the Presidency...
I’m truly conflicted. I have little time for Obama, simply because he’s a Chicago Machine politician.
But Biden... we have a choice between a mostly incompetent crook, and a completely incompetent clown. I genuinely don’t know who’s worse.
Bidem probably wishes this guy had just testified the exact opposite of what Biden claimed:

It’s getting increasingly more difficult for taxpayers to keep up with government. As soon as Obastard figured out the real capital of taxation he has gone nuts. Keeping it “locked up” it not his agenda at all. He will be the “ONE” that ruins us all. Bankrupting the Fed is an act he should be jailed for.
Biden probably wishes this guy had not just testified the exact opposite of what Biden claimed:

There was no way he was taking Hillary as a VP, that would have been a death sentence, so he found some bumbling fool, even dumber than he, who would make someone think twice before attacking the POTUS.
Imagine Biden and Pelosi running the show. If things are bad now, I can't even imagine that scenario.
Spot on, indeed they do.
If every American family lived by this idiots mislogic...
Let’s listen to Joe Biden here:

Vice-President Biden is today’s STUCK ON STUPID award winner.
Let’s go with an over and under.
“I’m racking up credit card debt to reduce my expenses”
Obama to explain what Joe meant to say in 5 ... 4 ... 3 ...
The nice feature about Joe is that he talks and acts like an idiot and everyone can see it.
What’s even nicer is that his idiocy is mirroring obuma’s stupidity and the majority of people are making the connection.
If Biden had any credibility, this bankruptcy statement would cause widespread panic. Apparently everyone knows this guy doesn’t even know the difference between spending and investing.
This can’t be posted enough. Maybe Biden will tell the sheeple that they need to raise everyone’s taxes to create wealth. Makes just as much sense. The fact that this career politician doesn’t understand basic economics is an indictment of 52% of Americans. This is who you voted for, 52%. Aren’t you proud of your vote?
The good news is that the 2010 and 2012 commercials are writing themselves.
I LOVE JOE. He tells’ it like the administration actually believes.
LOL...thats exactly right. The question is to do they believe it b/c they think it’s true or it’s the dem. talking point de jourt? LOL, either way isn’t all that flattering.
The reason we are crashing is not that biden believes it; it is because the average, extremely uninformed and ignorant american public will accept it as fact.
The sad truth of the matter is too many American families have lived by this idiot's logic the last several years. When banks are issuing mortgage notes to illegal aliens for homes exceeding $500K in value, it tells me that there's plenty of other Bidens out their in this country. To many of them, Biden's words will make complete "sense". That's what really scares me.
I married a woman who had this philosophy.
I can tell you from experience, it doesn’t work.
It is because the public votes in geniuses like Biden... Our government reflects our voting public. And frankly they are too ignorant or worse to survive.
If Biden keeps embarrassing B.O. like this, he could be viewed as a serious liability to the WH.
“Arkancide”... what would the BO equivalent be?
I am not wishing ill on Biden, he’s vastly entertaining and a positive force for GOOD with all these gaffs. But the Dems are the Sopranos, they play hard ball - as do these thuggish protectionist unions. He probably talks too much, from these Protectionist bullies’ perspective. Some of the things he says are actually RIGHT ON (candid), and - that can’t continue, if your viewing it from a hard-core Dem/ec. tyrant vantage...
