VP pushes green jobs, saying, "When you're out of work, it's a depression."

Yes and the black unemployment rate is 15.4%, which is the BLS figure for September. The reality is that it is much higher, especially in urban areas. I wonder how that hope and change thing is working out for them,

[reagan_fanatic]

Yes, Joe, we’re depressed. Depressed that Hussein is President and you are Vice-President.

[buck61]

I’ve always heard, if you’re working it could be a recession,
if I’m not working it is a depression.

I think (not defending Biden) he is close to the truth.
Look for Obama to send him on a trip soon, must-ant allow him to talk, such as this.

Remember a few months ago when Biden said the stimulus (Economic Recovery Act) worked “better than his wildest dreams” ??

[kabar]

Yes, what he said is an old political saw. I have heard it many times. My point is that we have Great Depression unemployment rates among various segments of our population. For teenagers it is 25.9 percent, the highest in our history.

Here is a question for Biden: If unemployment is so bad, why are we still importing 125,000 LEGAL FOREIGN WORKERS A MONTH?!!

Just think if he was POTUS..............now that’s depressing..................

With apologies to The Gipper.

[Buckeye McFrog]

depressed because we see no light at the end of this tunnel until Barry leaves the White House, which is over 3 yrs. away

[CheneyChick]

Exactly! The Gipper would have said that if it were today. I just know it.
