Joe Biden: 'Something is wrong' with economy

Pittsburgh (CNN)Vice President Joe Biden warned on Monday that "something is wrong" with the American economy as he launched a Labor Day march here with speculation swirling that he may run for President.

In a highly populist speech that could foreshadow the themes he would highlight on the campaign trail, Biden said workers have been "clobbered" in the modern economy.

"It used to be when productivity went up in America, everybody got to share. The people who caused the productivity increase, they got to share. They got a piece of the action," Biden said before leading a march of an expected 60,000 workers through downtown Pittsburgh. "Something is wrong, folks."

Hey Joe, you've been Obama’s VP for 8 years and you're just realizing this. Time for the old politicians home for you.

Here's what is wrong Joe. You big-government socialist 'rats have been in charge too long.

You're right, productivity is up. You're also right, employment is down - no matter how you game the numbers to artificially drop the unemployment rate.

The fundamental problem Joe is you, yes you - government. You have been taking an ever expanding piece of the pie. You force companies to find ways to "do more with less" because you are taking more. You and your short-sighted, agenda-driven policies have made having employees, particularly full-time employees, prohibitively expensive.

In short Joe, you and your ilk are children playing with things you don't understand. You listen to economic theories that sound good, but do not work in the real world. This is obvious to anyone who thinks it through, and born out repeatedly by history. Yet you and your libtard friends are so blinded by your agenda, you just keep repeating the same mistakes over and over - at our expense. You s***.

Keep bringing in foreign workers and mandating benefit packages and see how many millions of Americans are put out of work, Slow Joe.

Every time you hear about some sob story about dreamers losing their dreams of becoming American college students, think of those who’ve gone into bankruptcy or lost their homes because they were laid off from degreed jobs that have been off shored or outsourced. The stories of Americans out of the workforce that the media and politicians don’t want to highlight.

What do you think he said to her? I can just imagine.

I don't know what CreepyJoe said but I think her mom said, "Ok, that's enough."

Or at least that's what I hope she said.

When I wrote "CreepyJoe" it did not autocorrect. So, does that mean that even the computers know he is a gas-filled creep-meister?

The economy will improve when Obama and Biden are out of work.
