Nevertheless, this article from BigGovernment.com needs recycled, much like Biden's plagiarism.
My grandpop use to say, "Four score and seven years ago..." when referring to his '87 Chevy Suburban.Vice President Biden keeps recycling his unemployment speeches – except he keeps confusing suburbs of his hometown of Scranton:
1. On October 19, he used Minooka:
My pop — my grandpop used to say — there was a suburb of Scranton called Minooka. He said, “When the guy in Minooka’s out of work, it’s an economic slowdown. When your brother- in-law’s out of work, it’s a recession. When you’re out of work, it’s a depression.” Well, it’s a depression — it’s a depression for millions of Americans, through no fault of their own.
2. On October 30, 2009, he used Dickson City (the correct spelling):
My grandpop used to have an expression. We’re from Scranton. He’d say — and I mean this literally. It wasn’t viewed as a joke. He said, “Joey, when the guy in Dixon City,” a small town above Scranton, “is out of work, it’s an economic slowdown. When you’re brother-in-law is out of work, it’s a recession. When you’re out of work, it’s a depression.” And it’s a depression for millions of American people.
3. On December 3, 2009, at the White House jobs summit, he used Throop:
There used to be an expression, and I’m not joking, my grandfather always used it. He was from Scranton, Pennsylvania. He said, “When the guy from Throop is out of work, it’s an economic slowdown. When your brother-in-law is out of work, it’s a recession. When you’re out of work, it’s a depression.” And it is a depression for over 10 million Americans…
For the record, there are currently almost 16 million unemployed Americans, not 10 million, as the Vice President said today. And Harry Truman is the apparent original author of this quote, minus the reference to Scranton suburbs:
“It’s a recession when your neighbor loses his job; it’s a depression when you lose yours.”

Nice.
I love Biden, for sure. I can just see Obama's face everytime Biden gaffes something. I picture him just hanging his head into his hands and muttering, "Why didn't I pick Hillary?" Biden is a ray of idiotic sunshine in an administration of abject evil.
And be honest, Miss Tara: Did you have to pause momentarily before you typed the word "plagiarism"? It's a tough one to spell off the top of anyone's head.
Keep on keepin' on, and Long Live the Republic.
Pause. Heck. I had to spell check it. Darn that 'i'. It's always in the wrong spot.
This ws priceless. I wouldn't have noticed it until now (then again, I haven't gone out of the way to hear him). Good article as well.
I one simple word. Priceless. This was actually pretty funny and I would have missed this otherwise.
