36. Biden does what the bankers want.

If your son who lives in Delaware perceives him as a phony, it may be because he's heard the I'm-just-like-you-and-an-ordinary-guy-who-took-the-train-to-work story too many times.

If you can think of something off the top of your head that he has done for the middle-class, what is it? What did he do for the bankers? Among other things, he made sure that debts incurred to go to college are no longer discharable in bankruptcy even while the policy of this country is to send jobs to foreign countries.
