Official Vice Presidential Debate thread!

[sniper7]

Biden calling Medicare and SS a guaranteed benefit and that people like Joes family can't afford it....last time I looked Joe made something like 300K last year, or more. I think he can afford it.

800 million-billion dollars

nice number Joe! Sounds like Dr Evil

Biden saying the republicans are holding hostage the middle class tax cut for the wealthy people tax cut.

High income is considered 200K a year for indv. or 250K a year for families.

Sorry Joe, but that isn't THAT much money anymore. give it 15-25 years and that will be middle class money. fuck that.

Ryan is definitely in touch with the taxes. 2/3s of our jobs come from small business.

53% will see increases in their taxes costing over 700K jobs.

they don't want to increase the deficit.

[sniper7]

1.2 trillion raised in income taxes.

basically 20% tax reduction is what Romney/Ryan want to accomplish.

The moderator sucks. She needs to moderate and keep her mouth shut. Biden interupting sucks too. Freaking cluster bleep of a debate.

[hollohas]

All I have learned is Joe is a huge DICK. Laugh it up you tool.

Also, the moderator sucks...but guess what, she and Bama go WAY back. He was a guest at her 1991 wedding. Her exhusband was a campaign advisor for Bama in 2008 too. Eventhough she devorced him before that, I suspect she shares many of the same views as the people she has surrounded herself with in the past and her attitude during the debate seems to support that suspicion.

Pure bullshit.

The Democrats have no plans and no solutions because they don't see a problem. Remember the Soviet Union? That is what the (D) envision for us, an elite upper class and everyone else is dirt poor.

At least the GOP will admit there is a problem and they are trying to come up with solutions.

Medicare, Medicaid, and SS are unfunded liabilities to the tune of 100 Trillion plus. This means that the government has NO MONEY in reserve to pay for these promises.

We're entering the time when the baby boomers, the largest subset of the population, is entering the period of time when their medical costs start to sky rocket.

There are not enough people employed and earning enough money to pay the taxes required to cover these costs. These costs include the medications, doctors and nurses, and the GIANT government bureaucracy to administer these programs.

Some group of American citizens is going to have to pay the price. For 30 years both parties have been putting those costs on your children and grandchildren.
