Sixty-seven years after he moved out of Scranton, Pa., and 47 years after he began working in Washington, D.C., Joe Biden seems to have trouble remembering that there’s an economy outside of political subsidy programs. In a Thursday night “town hall” on CNN, the former vice president was asked several times in different ways about encouraging job creation and economic growth. Each time his answer involved federal schemes to redistribute wealth.
Appearing in Moosic, Pa., with CNN host Anderson Cooper, Mr. Biden couldn’t resist proposing more taxpayer subsidies even when a questioner had just finished describing a problem created by taxpayer subsidies. Here’s an excerpt from CNN’s transcript in which a registered nurse named Sheila Schaufler was given a turn at the microphone:
SCHAUFLER: Thank you. And Good evening and welcome back. There are many frontline workers who are making much less than people on unemployment, who have benefited from the extra $600.00 in stimulus payments. I have personally spoken to people who refuse to even look or apply for jobs because of the extra money. What is your plan to get Americans back to work and off the government payroll?

No, that’s what he’s lived on his entire life.
He doesn’t understand his teleprompter...what do you think?
Joementia has been owned by the credit card industry for decades!
The intent is to destroy America...they know you can’t economically do this. Their enemies of the Republic.
Biden....”I have a plan”.....let me get back to you”.....(Wash and repeat)
He has been sucking on the government tit for so long that he thinks everybody does.
When you live on the plantation you don’t get subsidies.
How many businesses and churches have indeed been living on federal dollars since spring. Millions of dollars to shut a single churches doors and stop the gospel. Easter was cancelled and still they are raking in cash for compliance.
Count them up and see if businesses can live without the government trough.
Generous and endless stimulus rounds. Approved from the top down.
dems think everybody can live on the money seized from the people who are actually working.
People with a brain know that for a society to function, you must have as many people working as productively as possible.
What qualifies Biden to "have a plan"? We all have plans, and he is dumber than the average fellow sitting on a bar stool.
