How does he arrive at the 30% figure?

""If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, there's still a 30 percent chance we're going to get it wrong," was his message at the meeting."

Not much chance of hitting that 30% if they start by doing almost everything wrong.

30 percent chance Vice President Biden will be PRESIDENT Biden by 2010.

This current 47-year-old bird in there in the Oval Office is obviously an empty suit and clearly cannot handle the sheer weight of it (not that Biden can either!), and IMHO is heading for a major nervous breakdown with the world being the way it is and him shouldering the responsibilities. The relevant article to the Constitution may have to be invoked. It will be cleaner if he just resigns and goes away for treatment. Just sayin....

I’d say at most 30% they get it right.

“’If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, there’s still a 30 percent chance we’re going to get it wrong,’ was his message at the meeting.”

Where does he get that figure? Is he a statistician now, in addition to a proud member of the parasite class?

I don’t care for the internal logic of this sentence. How can there be any chance at all that you’ll get it wrong if you “do everything right”? Or does doing everything right mean to him having good intentions? According to my understanding of economics, intentions have nothing to do with being right. Also, according to history, there’s a much smaller than 30% chance this’ll work.

“30%”???

The Vice President is just trying to sound as if the whole plan was scientifically figured out and the odds of success calculated out by leading economists.

I didn’t see the whole story, but I bet no one in the media called him on it with a followup question: “Mr Vice President, how did you calculate the 70% chance of success number”?

If history is any indication then there is a 100% chance the Rats and 3 RINOs have it wrong.

Biden says the dumbest things?
But maybe Biden is speaking the Truth?

I just heard the mayor of Atlanta claim that with the $1 billion she will get she can create 550 jobs.

At this rate Obama’s plan could create 454,850 jobs. One-tenth of what he has promised.

Government gets it wrong most of the time....not just 30% of the time.

When government leaves the private sector alone, it will always find the best and most profitable solutions....or it will die....unless the gubmint jumps in to save them....which continues the cycle of failure because of minimization of risk.

Neither Biden nor Zero understand the economics behind this. They're doing what they're doing because that's what their economic advisors are advising. Zero said as much at Williamsburg the other night:

"We're not moving quickly because we're trying to jam something down people's throats," he said. "We're moving quickly because we're told that if we don't move quickly, that the economy is going to keep on getting worse." (emphasis added)

They're evidently too lazy to even try to understand. Zero will likely be throwing Summers and Timmy the tax cheat under the bus when it becomes apparent that this isn't working.

Looking at were the billions of dollars in Porkulus Maximus is going to be spent, I think Biden should raise his odds of “getting it wrong” a bit ...say to 95%. When in the next 18 months the economy continues to tank, unemployment goes up and inflation kicks in the Democrats will face the wrath of the voters.

Obama had to pull Biden aside after this one and warn him to either get it right or STFU.

Obama: “Biden, you idiot... there’s 100% chance we got it wrong! That’s the PLAN, you moron. 30% is the INFLATION RATE in 2010! Make notes on your hand or something, but stop screwing this simple stuff up or I’ll send you to Afghanistan!”

During the campaign they sent plugs to the most uninhabited parts of the country to campaign once he started up his gaffe machine.

Where will they send him this time ?

Official long term diplomatic mission to the Antartic ?
