You Decide


Vice President Joe Biden, July 2009:

While speaking to the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) in July about the need to pass the Democrats’ health care plan, Vice President Joe Biden said the government must keep spending to avoid bankruptcy.

“Folks, look, AARP knows and the people with me here today know, the president knows, and I know, that the status quo is simply not acceptable,” Biden said, concerning the current health care system in America. “It’s totally unacceptable. And it’s completely unsustainable. Even if we wanted to keep it the way we have it now. It can’t do it financially.

“We’re going to go bankrupt as a nation,” Biden said.

“Now, people, when I say that, look at me and say, ‘What are you talking about, Joe? You’re telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?’” Biden said. “The answer is yes, that's what I’m telling you.”

This is from the Chicago Tribune, the voice of conservatism in the 1930's & 1940's, under the direction of "Colonel" Robert McCormick.

It ran on April 21, 1934.

Here's a brief bio of the Colonel from the Trib's website:

A grandnephew of reaper king Cyrus McCormick and grandson of Chicago Tribune editor Joseph Medill, Robert was born to both wealth and high expectations. He became a Chicago alderman while in law school (and was known for wearing jodhpurs during Council sessions) and was then president of the Chicago Sanitary District's board. He later became editor and publisher of the Tribune. As an American officer in World War I, he took the label that would forever define him: The Colonel. One of his Great War exploits occurred at Cantigny, France, and he used the name Cantigny for his estate in the far western suburbs. His leadership of the Tribune was marked by firm opposition to foreign entanglements and ridicule of Franklin Roosevelt and other Democrats. A 1936 editorial about the Democratic National Convention was headlined "The Soviets Gather at Philadelphia." But McCormick was much more than a partisan with a printing press. He and his newspaper showed tremendous enthusiasm for new technologies, such as radio and the fax machine, and at one time under his leadership the Tribune boasted the nation's highest daily newspaper circulation. He died in 1955

Biden is a Bankster controlled idiot!

A two year old knows better than that.

This country went bankrupt in 1870 and in 1871 our 41st Congress altered the Constitution and turned the United States of America into the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA a corporate entity. Our bankruptcy forced us into a partnership with Great Britian who commandeered us through the international Banksters.
