Vice President-Elect Joe Biden said the U.S. economy is in danger of "absolutely tanking" and will need a second stimulus package in the $600-billion to $700-billion range.
"The economy is in much worse shape than we thought it was in," Biden told me during an exclusive interview -- his first since becoming vice president-elect-- to air this Sunday on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."
"There is no short run other than keeping the economy from absolutely tanking. That's the only short run," Biden told me.
Biden said he has canvassed Republican and Democratic members of Congress about a second "big" and "bold" stimulus package . He said the Obama team is focused on creating jobs and spending on energy and information technology infrastructure.

Of course it’s in danger of tanking. The Dems are taking charge.

Bumlin’ Joe Biden

Congress just voted itself ANOTHER INCREASE IN PAY!!!

Bleeping bleepers bleeping the bleep bleep bleeping country!!! Ahhhhh!!!
There you go again Joe, showing America what a huge dumb ass you really are. Who do I fear more, Obama, a Marxist, or Biden, a complete idiot
Well, if this Bozo says its’ bad—it probably isn’t. This makes me feel better.
This loose talk by dodos is just evidence of the weak leaders we are producing. “Absolutely tanking” and in “worse shape than we even thought” are easy to say but carry little useful information. Certainly less precise than you would like to hear from the top people in a new administration.
BTW the government cannot buy us out of this recession. It will just happen and these dodos will take credit.
Stand up economy, stand up!
So what happened to the magic Negro’s magic wand?
Tax cuts would go a long way towards fixing the problem. Especially corporate and capital gains. And to fix Detroit, repeal CAFE.
Failed President FDR proved government make-work does not, it always ends in the same place, the unemployment line.
Oh yeah, if we chased off all the illegals, many state budgets, like California’s, would then come into balance.
SHUT UP JOE!
“The Dumbest Man In The Senate” strikes again.
OH Great the first thing out of Biden’s mouth is a gaffe...the stock market operates on “confidence” and it’s like he is trying to tank it again...is he making money when it goes down and he buys stocks, and then it goes back up when fearmongering quiets down. I truly believe these dems are trying to crash America....
Cuckoo too.
You know before the election I had hope.
After the election there was anger, then rage with the bailouts.
Now I feel numb to a lot of the news, and that scares me the most.
Hey Joe
Cut the capital gains tax to 5% for 24 months.
Suspend Cafe increases that are forcing detroit to retool
Cancel the Tarp fund and force the Fed to print M3 reports.
