Vice President Joe Biden Rallies for Jobs Bill on Capitol Hill
Oct 19, 2011 6:15pm
Vice President Joe Biden and a group of Senate Democrats rallied on Capitol Hill today with firefighters, teachers, nurses and police officers for passage of the $35 billion piece of the jobs bill that is on the Senate floor this week.
“This is an emergency,” Biden told the crowd. “I say to the American people: Watch your senator. Watch him or her choose. Are you going to put 400,000 school teachers back in classrooms? Are you going to put 18,000 cops back in the street and 7,000 firefighters back in the firehouses? Or are you going to save people with average incomes of $1 million a one-half of 1 percent increase in tax on every dollar they make over a million?”
Moments later, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., announced that Democrats are “going to make sure there is a vote on our bill this week.”
**SNIP**
“It doesn’t affect anybody who makes $999,000,” Biden said. “It doesn’t affect anybody who makes $999,900.99. And even when it affects the guy who makes $1,000,001, it only affects that $1.”

EVERYTHING is an “emergency” with those people.
They’re worse than the boy who cried wolf.
As far as I am concerned, we need FEWER cops.
Is that you?
Joe Biden lies to 9 year olds.
He can't sell his plan on Economics
Claude Rains in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington: “This deficiency bill must be passed immediately!”
This is nothing new.
Thank you, Joe Biden! Your scare tactics is doing wonders for gun sales!
The people will take care of themselves!
All this "jobs" bill does is borrow half a trillion dollars and launder it through the unions.
I'm a teacher in Illinois. I get 'emergency messages' from the NEA every time anybody mentions any thing about teacher jobs in the state. I've heard nothing about these out of the classroom teachers in Illinois.
Considering just the traditional 50 states (no data available for 0's other 7 states), 400,000 out of work teachers would be around 8,000 teachers per state.
I'm sure that I'd have heard if the mean ol' Republicans were tossing 8,000 teachers out the door.
Biden is 0's best insurance policy.
Are you saying you think we need MORE police officers?
You weren’t supposed to figure that out!
; - )
No, it isnt'.
Yep.
I'm beginning to wonder if there are any other types of jobs out there. It's all the rookie Hussein and Bumblin' Joe talk about.
No Joe, I cannot afford more teachers and cops..in fact I’m tired of paying for your worthless butt too.
Everything is an emergency with Psycho Joe.....
