That's not the job I want! and other stuff...

Did you hear about what Biden said at a Rally in Ohio today? You can read the whole story here, but here are some highlights:


Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden said Wednesday that Barack Obama's plan to rebuild the nation's crumbing roads and bridges would help reverse the loss of 240,000 jobs in Ohio during the Bush years.

Biden told an audience in this economically distressed battleground state that the Democratic presidential candidate's public works projects would create 2 million jobs nationwide, including 76,000 new jobs for the middle class in Ohio.

LOL OK if I lose my job I don't want to work building roads. By the way I don't know about your part of the country but where I live, when you pass these road projects it's about 90% Mexicans working out there. Let's face it it's hard work out in the elements with speeding traffic whizing by and little pay to boot. Not very desirable.


Biden said McCain and his vice presidential running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, don't understand the plight of struggling Ohioans, and he decried the fact that the median income of a middle class family in the state has dropped $2,000 in the last eight years

Well, according the the US Census Bureau the median income in Ohio in 1999 was $40,956, and the average median income for the years 2006-2007 was $48,151. And according to the department of labor the average yearly pay for road workers: $30,118.40. So according to this every point he made here is false. And by THE ONE's plan median income really would go down.


He compared a tax rebate from the stimulus package to a check that Alaska residents receive each year from the state government, a stipend from the proceeds of the state's more than $30 billion oil-rich investment account.

"If a $1000 rebate is good enough for them in Alaska, it sure as heck good enough for the people of southern Ohio," he said.

OK I think Gov. Palin needs to go ahead and thank him for this. That's right she did such a good job in Alaska that her people got this surplus back. Wow imagine that, instead of pouring all that money into the system she was able to give it back to the people.
Senator Biden is RIGHT the people of Ohio should get a $1000 rebate from the government. EVERYONE in America deserves to get $1000 back from the government every year. Gov. Palin has already proven she could do it for her state, she needs to show Washington how to do it for everyone! That's the type of person that we need as VP and with McCain's attitude towards pork, we could get somewhere here.

He also criticized Republican candidate John McCain's idea for the federal government to spend $300 billion to buy distressed mortgages at full face value and renegotiate them at a reduced price.

OK let me start by saying that I don't think this is the greatest idea ever but it's better than Obama's plan of a 90-day moratorium on foreclosures. So after the 90-days then what? Oh yeah, that's right, those people that couldn't afford their houses before, still can't afford them after 90 days and they get foreclosed. Nice try though.
