Former Vice President Joe Biden made another gaffe on Tuesday, this time suggesting that his child tax credit plan will put "720 million women" back into the workforce.

Speaking at the Workers’ Presidential Summit in Philadelphia, the 2020 frontrunner mocked the idea of having a tax break for "a racehorse" and not one for having children.

"You get a tax break for a racehorse, why in God's name couldn't we provide an $8,000 tax credit for everybody who has childcare costs?" Biden told the crowd. "It would put 720 million women back in the workforce. It would increase the GDP, to sound like a wonk here, by about eight-tenths of one percent. It would grow the economy."

According to the U.S. Census, there are 330 million people living in the country.

Maybe he meant all the Women in America and China. Did he sell out America to our #1 enemy? Pretty serious allegation , better investigate that!

Typical politician - absolutely no math skills.

How about a Childcare tax credit of $8,000 for a stay at home mom who raises her own children?

Or is it only "Childcare" when the State takes control of the children away from the parents?

These are not ‘’gaffes’’ Joe Biden is making. The media is doing quite frankly a disgusting job of trying to cover up what to health care professionals is a sick man. Biden is beginning to suffer the onset of dementia. Work in a nursing home and you'll see t for yourself. I know that there are so many Freepers who have cared for and watched with heart wrenching sadness, as I have as dementia and Alzhiemrs stole away the minds and souls of their loved ones. I can not understand for the life why his family is allowing this to happen. And just as an aside there are seven forms of dementia. Alzhiemers is one of them.

That CANNOT be a real picture!

[Ann Archy]

SEVEN forms of DEMENTIA? Really?

[definitelynotaliberal]

It’s a takeoff on this picture.

Actually a child tax credit is not a bad idea. POTUS is coming out with a middle class tax cut and I’ll wager there is a child tax credit in it.

[definitelynotaliberal]

Yes. These are they:

Alzheimer’s Dementia
Parkinson’s Dementia
Lewy Body Dementia
Vascular Dementia
Frontotemporal Dementia
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Dementia
Werincke-Korsakoff Dementia

Why no mention of Trump Hatred Dementia?

How about a Childcare tax credit of $8,000 for a stay at home mom who raises her own children?

I agree. Moms need to stay at home to raise their kids, at least during their formative years.

The smartest thing Elizabeth Warren ever did (back when she was a Republican) was talk about the two parent income trap and the harm it has done to American families. She even wrote a book about it.

Good point.

I hate these full time, life time politicians. Total joke.

Trump has unmasked all of them...esp the likes of Bush and Obama to start with. Totally lazy POS....

Trump does more in one day, than these two bit intellectuals would do in a week.

The man is amazing....

Are you telling me, George Bush would be campaigning not in New Mexico and CAlifornia.

I’D LOVE TO SEE TRUMP AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN!!!!! LET’S DO IT...

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Simple: Democrat Joe Biden = Moron, Buffoon, Fool, Idiot, Low Life, Butt Wipe, Lie Teller, Obama’s, Lap Dog, incompetent from head to toe!!! End of story!!!

[jmacusa]

Yes. Thank you. Dementia in the elderly can also come about as the result of a urinary tract infection.
