Good ol’ Joe once again blurts out the awkward truth, while trying to be helpful to Democrat Senate candidate in Iowa, Bruce Braley (known to Michelle Obama as Bruce Bailey).

....

you know the truth: The middle class is still in trouble,” Biden said. “You don’t have to know the numbers, you can feel it. You can feel it in your bones.”

Biden’s lamentation failed to inspire any hope or energy among the crowd at Braley’s rally. Instead, the vice president’s words hun[g] in the air as he pointed out that all the positive economic numbers the Obama administration touts have little meaning for middle-class families.

...

The middle class has been left behind.

“O” wants, more than anything, to obliterate the middle class. That is the SPINE of America.

Pauperizing the middle class is one giant step in that direction.

Thanks, Joe for stating the obvious.

As I’ve been saying, a lot of Odimwit’s underwater numbers are because Libs view him as Conservative. That’s why I get so irritated at these pundits who act like there is some move away from Liberalism because people hate ODim. That’s not the case. These are people who will push America even further Left.

I am confident the full context of Plugs’ remarks would have included that the poor status of the disappearing middle class would be the Republicans fault.

I would like to see Biden dress up for Halloween and sing and dance to “If I only Had A Brain”.

He could do it for charity—Planned Parenthood for instance.

He’s exactly right. There are still some middle class folks still working, not on disability, or drop out of the labor force. Folks that he would like to be on food stamps, EBT, disability, unemployment, or otherwise drop out of the labor force...

You go, Joey - the spineless rinos aren’t even daring to say this

Obama’s Rev. Wright Church, Trinity United Church of Christ, had a 12 point Black Value System, one point of which was the: “Disavowal of the pursuit of Middleclassness.”

This why when people talk of Joe as "impeachment insurance", my position is "Let the chips fall where they will". Nobody would be more threatened by Biden than the far political Left.

Joe's damage-control team would die of exhaustion.

The middle class is still in trouble. And Joe has just the solution: Millions of unskilled, uneducated slaves to depress wages even further; huge tax increases on the middle class, but only after the election; higher health care premiums.

Ultimately, the only middle class under this scheme will be the federal bureaucrats doing the bidding of the elite 1% at the top of the government.

Young Americans are followers. The clearest and loudest message is their message. Conservatives could win them over..if it were not for the no message and no reform agenda Rinos.
