Joe Biden Is Right

Three charts that prove the blind squirrel found an acorn.

[Update a while later]

Poor media. Biden has forced them to actually cover the middle class:

On the Biden remark, the media sure seemed miffed to have to respond to the Romney campaign (hey, who’s running this race anyway!), and more importantly to be dragged against their will into a policy discussion. Now that was the reason, of course, the Romney-Ryan ticket pounced on Biden. They’ve been talking about their five-point plan to restore the middle class for months, but the media yawns. Two conservative studies were released Tuesday showing that the middle class will shoulder some of the tax burden associated with debt repayment. Again, the media yawned. So when opportunity presented itself, who could blame the Romney-Ryan team for ramping up the volume? At least they got the media to report that the middle class has lost ground under Obama.

And that darn Ryan, with his gaffe about how he agrees with Joe.

Alliterative Comment

du jour:

Elect a big-spending no-show community organizer (who golfs all day) as the government’s bread-winner in chief, and government income plummets and debts skyrocket. Any medieval village idiot could’ve predicted that as an inevitability, no? 😀

Obama’s solution? Demand that the few people who still have a job give him more money, faster! Then call them stingy because they’re not tossing enough $20′s in his violin case. Maybe if he had an economic model that wasn’t based on bitching, bailouts, begging, browbeating, borrowing, bragging, bribing, bamboozling, and bankrupting the bourgeiosie, the economy would recover on its own.

A brilliant blast.
