(CNSNews.com) – Vice President Joe Biden told people attending an AARP town hall meeting that unless the Democrat-supported health care plan becomes law the nation will go bankrupt and that the only way to avoid that fate is for the government to spend more money.

“And folks look, AARP knows and the people with me here today know, the president knows, and I know, that the status quo is simply not acceptable,” Biden said at the event on Thursday in Alexandria, Va. “It’s totally unacceptable. And it’s completely unsustainable. Even if we wanted to keep it the way we have it now. It can’t do it financially.”

“We’re going to go bankrupt as a nation,” Biden said.

“Now, people when I say that look at me and say, ‘What are you talking about, Joe? You’re telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?’” Biden said. “The answer is yes, that's what I’m telling you.”

I’m taking bets on the date Biden gets carted off in a straight jacket.

And Joe believes that.

Any wonder why the country is crashing and burning?

We need to keep buying guns and ammunition in order to disarm ourselves. Same logic. Different people.

[Shaka]

Yup...we also need to have sex in order to stop making children.

We need to spend more money to save it. Stupid.

Hey Joe-THE NATION IS ALREADY BANKRUPT!

It sounds like a parody of Orwell.

IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
SLAVERY IS FREEDOM
How these buffoons rise so high is beyond me

I think it’s because skeet/buffoon-hunting is frowned upon...

Joe Biden is the one singular good thing to come from the scourge of Maobama. If it wasn't for his timely and perpetual comic relief, we'd have nearly nothing to laugh at.

If I didn't know better, I would think that the administration puta him up to saying this stuff, just to take the edge off.

"Hey Joe, things are getting bad again. Go back out there and say something stupid."

All this talk by Obama and Biden that current health care cost is “unsustainable” couldn’t be any clearer that they plan drastic rationing to bail out medicare and the new atrocity of Obamacare.

[Rennes Templar]

The one thing that is true in the article is that Joe was at an AARP meting. The rest of it has no connection to reality.

[martinidon]

can you imagine how the media would have treated George Bush if he had said this....

[garyhope]

Joe is just the gift that keeps on giving isn’t he?

You can’t make this stuff up.

I think Joe and Barbara Boxer should run together. A perfect pair.

Of buffoons and clowns.
