Biden's Debate Rant Rips Ryan: GOP Needs to 'Get Out of the Way'

"These people are my mom and dad, my neighbors. They pay more effective tax than Gov. Romney pays," the vice president continued. "They are elderly people who in fact are living off of Social Security, they are veterans who are -- quote -- not paying taxes."

"I've never met two guys more down on America across the board. We're told everything is going badly. 5.2 million new jobs, private sector jobs. We need more. But 5.2 million. If they would get out of the way and let us pass the tax cut for the middle class and make it permanent. If they would get out of the way and pass the jobs bill. If they would get out of the way and let us allow 14 million people who are struggling to stay in their homes because their mortgages are upside down but they never missed a mortgage payment."

Biden added: "Just get out of the way. Stop talking about how you care about people. Show me something. Show me a policy. Show me a policy where you take responsibility."

Biden is 100% right.

Put up or shut up, Ryan. If you care, then words are NOT enough.

"And, by the way, they talk about this Great Recession if it fell out of the sky, like, "Oh, my goodness, where did it come from?" It came from this man voting to put two wars on a credit card, to at the same time put a prescription drug benefit on the credit card, a trillion-dollar tax cut for the very wealthy. I was there. I voted against them. I said, no, we can't afford that.
And now, all of a sudden, these guys are so seized with the concern about the debt that they created.
