(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.”

The reason we are crashing is not that biden believes it; it is because the average, extremely uninformed and ignorant american public will accept it as fact.
The sad truth of the matter is too many American families have lived by this idiot's logic the last several years. When banks are issuing mortgage notes to illegal aliens for homes exceeding $500K in value, it tells me that there's plenty of other Bidens out their in this country. To many of them, Biden's words will make complete "sense". That's what really scares me.
I married a woman who had this philosophy.
I can tell you from experience, it doesn’t work.
It is because the public votes in geniuses like Biden... Our government reflects our voting public. And frankly they are too ignorant or worse to survive.
If Biden keeps embarrassing B.O. like this, he could be viewed as a serious liability to the WH.
“Arkancide”... what would the BO equivalent be?
I am not wishing ill on Biden, he’s vastly entertaining and a positive force for GOOD with all these gaffs. But the Dems are the Sopranos, they play hard ball - as do these thuggish protectionist unions. He probably talks too much, from these Protectionist bullies’ perspective. Some of the things he says are actually RIGHT ON (candid), and - that can’t continue, if your viewing it from a hard-core Dem/ec. tyrant vantage...
