Biden says Americans are “no longer worried” about the economy

Another day brings another absurd sound bite from Vice President Joe Biden.

President Barack Obama’s right-hand man is so out of touch with society he thinks Americans feel that the economy is steady and confident enough that no foreign nations can overtake the U.S.

“They are no longer traumatized by what was a traumatizing event, the great collapse in 2008,” he said during remarks at the White House on Monday. “…They’re no longer, I think, worried about our economy being overwhelmed beyond our shores.”

Biden added that there is “very little doubt” about the nation’s ability to lead in the 21st Century “not only in terms of our foreign policy, our incredible defense establishment, but economically.”

Joe, what country are you living in? The state of our economy is still a big worry for many Americans.
