Vice President Joe Biden gave a stark assessment of the economy today, telling an audience of supporters, "there's no possibility to restore 8 million jobs lost in the Great Recession."
Appearing at a fundraiser with Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wisc.) in Milwaukee, the vice president remarked that by the time he and President Obama took office in 2008, the gross domestic product had shrunk and hundreds of thousands of jobs had been lost.
"We inherited a godawful mess," he said, adding there was "no way to regenerate $3 trillion that was lost. Not misplaced, lost."

Whether he does or not we know it is.
And he's been working so hard at it too.
So Obama has borrowed $3 trillion in two years to cover what was "lost" and pissed it away. Oh, and by the way Joe, the Dems have controlled Congress since 2007.
Lie Lie Lie.
I was just wondering where in the he77 do we get these kind of people. Biden is so stupid he could not run the check out at my grandfathers hardware store. You know, read sticker price, enter sticker price into register, enter amount tendered, issue change to customer and say thank you.
He is sooooooo ignorant, but hey, ain’t he one o those lawwwwyers from up north?
If I was Pezident and I was on LSD 24/7/365 I would do a better job. This is crud. The regime is killing America.
Obama/Biden also cannot fix the economy, stop the leak, prevent terrorism, close the borders, stop cartel violence or fix a corrupt congress. All they’ve succeeded in doing is centralizing federal power,stifle business, prolong and deepen the recession and wreck the healthcare system.
Setting aside Joe Stalin for (just) a moment - I just want to comment on the fact that the week started with rumors that Obama was going to swap out Biden and Hillary Clinton. I laughed quite hard when I fist saw that story. You could die trying to assume whence that one came, but it took only about 5-6 days for Biden to perform another gaffe and make it perfectly obvious what an error it would be to move him to Foggy Bottom.
Not that I think Hillary is doing a good job, in fact she is forking up royally, but Biden, for the obvious reason would be as world-class disaster as our top diplomat.
Actually, massive amounts of grain were produced in the Ukraine back then. It’s just that all of it was removed and sent elsewhere with nothing given in return to the farmers and locals.
Yes, the Bolsheviks blamed the kulaks, but most of them died of starvation anyway. Placing blame on the kulaks was indirectly blaming the former system (Czarist) that the kulaks wished had persisted.
My grandparents were kulaks who fled Ukraine back in 1920 and legally immigrated to the U.S. in 1922. Had they stayed, they would have died in the forced collectivization/ starvation of the 30’s.
Wow - I had no idea - good for you and good for your grandparents. Now I feel dumb for trying to tell you about what you and your family have actually lived.
Most people (not here) have no idea of how absolutely evil these seemingly idealistic policies actually are. If they would learn their history they would know, but the education and the media have seen to it that *that* won’t happen.
BS. The unemployment rate was about 6%
Joe. Bite me.
No, on second thought go bite Barney Frank. He may like it, plus he shares a great deal of the blame for the disaster of Fannie and Freddie.
Go Joe, go. Go bite Barney.
Deport 10 million illegals.
That’ll create 10 million jobs for Americans.
it is far better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are a moron, than open it and eliminate all doubt
biden clearly has never learned this.
I just wonder if he has any idea how stupidd he sounds??
Mr. Biden, please read my tagline.
Incomptence of the lowerst order. How this buffoon and his boss got to run the country is beyond me.
