"I WOULD LET THE TAX CUTS FOR ALL OF THE MIDDLE CLASS LAPSE"
Yepsen: SENATOR, HOW DO YOU PAY FOR YOUR IDEA (ED: socialized medicine)?
Biden: YOU PAY FOR MY IDEA BY DOING THREE OR FOUR THINGS, DAVID, AND ALSO YOU GO AFTER THE DEBT THIS WAY. I WOULD FUNDAMENTALLY -- YOU HAVE TO HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE IN AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY AND A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE IN TERMS OF THE TAX POLICY. I WOULD LET THE TAX CUTS FOR ALL OF THE MIDDLE CLASS LAPSE. I WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD WITH THE NEW TAX CUT CALLED FOR BY ELIMINATING THE INHERITANCE TAX. I WOULD -- I WOULD LET LAPSE WHAT WOULD COST $195 BILLION OVER TEN YEARS THE TAX CUT FOR DIVIDENDS. I WOULD ELIMINATE TOTALLY THE TAX CUT FOR PEOPLE MAKING OVER -- IN THE TOP ONE PERCENT, WHICH IS $600 BILLION. IN ADDITION TO THAT, ON THE NATIONAL SECURITY SIDE OF THE AGENDA, I WOULD END THE WAR IMMEDIATELY. I WOULD END THIS WAR. THAT WOULD SAVE ME A HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. AND IN ADDITION TO THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE -- AND I WOULD ELIMINATE THE STAR WARS PROGRAM. I WOULD NOT DEPLOY THE STAR WARS PROGRAM, WHICH IS A MULTITRILLION-DOLLAR, LONG-TERM INVESTMENT WE'RE MAKING, AND I WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD WITH THE NUCLEAR PROGRAM OF NEW NUCLEAR WARHEADS, WHICH ADDS UP IN THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. THAT WOULD GIVE ME, DAVID, SOMEWHERE IN A YEARLY BASIS AS THE NEXT PRESIDENT IMMEDIATELY IF WE DID THIS, MANY OF THESE THINGS, I WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE ANOTHER ROUGHLY $200 BILLION A YEAR AVAILABLE. $200 BILLION. I COULD FOR $26 BILLION INSURE EVERY SINGLE SOLITARY CHILD IN AMERICA --

This interview is a real gem — all McCain has to do is to put a couple of paragraphs into a new ad every couple of days.
The taxes are the worst, but this isn’t helping either:
“Biden: I’M A BIG FAN OF JIMMY CARTER’S. I WAS, AS YOU REMEMBER, HIS NATIONAL CAMPAIGN CHAIRMAN IN 1976, THE FIRST PERSON TO ENDORSE HIM. “
Doesn’t show very good judgment, does it?
I know why Obambi picked Biden: he needed a prominent ‘national’ figure in the ‘Rat party who is every bit as delusional and inept and bombastic as Obambi...... Biden fit the bill perfectly.
This is a terrific find!
I just added the link to the interview and an excerpt to my FR home page.
Thanks for the find and posting this.
What specific portions of Biden’s brain, were affected by his anuerysm? Could it have been the area which affects impulse-control?
Do it! Well, get rid of the dept of education, at least.
Or, they could just do like Bush did. Lower taxes, which raised the revenue. Of course 9/11 and two wars (plus perhaps too many programs like fighting AIDS in Africa, no child left behind, etc.) tend to go through those extra revenues pretty quickly.
I sure wish Bush was a better chearleader on some of the things he has done like increasing the revenues by lowering taxes.
Pubs should run all statements in ads during the DNC Convention. Over and over.
That boat will sink faster than Ted Kennedy’s Oldsmobile.
Raise Taxes. Gut defense. The Democrat plan for the end of American civilization as we know it.
Thank you. This was a lucky find. I can’t remember how I found it, but I wanted a quote I didn’t see everywhere else. I will try to find more. It is an honor to have something in the sidebar. My first time.
Babbles? you are forgetting the moments he plagiarizes, the rest of it is babbling.
Biden is typical of most libs. They’re so sure of their intelligence and so convinced that they know more than anybody else, they’ll never admit to being wrong on anything.
Very intuitive post. I would absolutely say that both of these guys have Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Malignant Narcissists are very scary people. If you want to understand how frightening this ticket is, from a psychological perspective, everyone should read the book (cover shown in post) by Sam Vaknin. Also see Vaknins article on Narcissistic Leaders. http://samvak.tripod.com/15.html Sounds an awful lot like the Obamamessiah.
from this 1987 article.....Biden Admits Plagiarism in School
Pierre DuPont campaigned on tax cuts in 1988. I wonder how the people of DE stand on this. They probably have no idea Biden voted against them. After, all who is to have told them?
