Biden: GOP protects the rich at expense of teachers, responders

Vice President Joe Biden chastised Senate Republicans Wednesday for putting millionaires before teachers and first responders because of their opposition to the latest Democratic jobs bill.

“I don’t know where these guys live,” said Biden, implying that GOP leaders have fallen out of touch with the concerns of average Americans.

“The critics say this costs money. Surprise, surprise — it does cost money,” Biden added. “My dad used to say if everything’s equally important to you, nothing’s important. Everything’s about priorities.”

Biden asserted that even many millionaires are willing pay more in taxes to pay to keep teachers, police officers and firefighters in their jobs.

4. Do tell "MisterP" - what's with your sarcasm? Are there any Democrats you like?
Biden's wife is a Community College teacher and he grew up in a middle class family.

3. Well, at least he didn't try and scare people into thinking they'd
be raped and murdered this time.
I've found, in my experience, the police usually respond to crimes AFTER they've happened.
When seconds count, the police are only minutes away
