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."

You and Jug ears are the problem moron. I hope the biggest idiot in politics does run. Trump taking on Dufus will be entertaining.

[Jim Robinson]

LOL! Democrats are idiots.

[Da Coyote]

Hey sloe Joe....ya think?

[Cowboy Bob]

After 7 years, Biden is only now waking up.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Sounds like The Idiot Biden is warming up for something........

It will be entertaining if nothing else.

[Cowboy Bob]

Besides, Biden and Obama OWN this economic mess.

[samtheman]

He’ll make a great presidential candidate.

I can’t wait for the first Biden, Sanders, Clinton debate.

The stage will be all a-crackle with brain aneurysms, minor strokes and Alzheimer moments.

Trump/Cruz 2016 All the way to the White House!!!

"Something is wrong with the economy."

Only for middle America and the poor assh*le. While most of you came out on top, the rest of us got economically gang banged.

Labor is a commodity, just like the materials. If it is in demand then it gets more expensive. Based on the government’s labor data jobs are going to immigrants who are flooding the labor market, therefore wages stagnate. It wouldn’t have been as painful as except for other government initiatives which flooded the housing market with buyers and have messed up the healthcare system, as well.

The Fed has been running permanent QE. The free money is the main thing elevating the stock market.

There is something really creepy wrong with Biden:

A Joe Biden going against Obama's fascism style of governing might just work to win over the democrats and republicans. A return to the Sam Nunn sort of conservative democrat is ten times more conservative than Boehner and McConnell's republican party!

But then again, crazy Uncle Joe may have just been doing what he always does in unscripted moments?

[Hildy]

What a diverse stage that would be. I would love that and then a picture of the Republican group. But of course, Republican minority lives don’t atter.

“..Biden warned on Monday that “something is wrong” with the American economy....”

It is what happens to the brain when you work for a dictator. You don’t have to know anything, you don’t have to talk, you don’t have to think, and you just simply don’t have to do anything.

THE DICTATOR DOES EVERYTHING.

... It used to be when productivity went up in America, everybody got to share ...

Today under Obama/Biden, the government steals their share through taxation, regulation, and executive action. Spit.
