Wow that sounds a lot like Carter’s famous Malaise speech where he proclaimed America’s greatest could not be restored. (Translation.... until he was out of office and real leader took over).
Biden’s Translation....the jobs are lost for good as long as the democRATS remain in charge.

Except, back on the 1970's, it was at least somewhat understandable that many people actually believed that.
But now, in 2010, we're just a few years passed the longest period (1983-2007) of continuous economic growth, and the greatest creation of wealth, not just in American history, but possibly in all of human history.

It's maddening. It's the economic equivalent of holocaust denial. Hell, it's like denying the holocaust while standing in front of the just cooled ovens, surrounded by piles of empty Zyklon B canisters.
