Biden tells unemployed to 'hang in there'
billions to Wall Street pronto but to the unemployed and underemployed, a different tactic applies.

THIS SHIT IS NOT GOING TO STOP UNTIL WE PUT AN END TO IT.

12. Cheney had an idiotic President who could be led around
by appeals to his ego. Biden does not.

17. Biden is not President in everything but name the way Cheney was
because Obama is not a simpleton like Shrub.

9. Biden you can kiss off.
I'm one of the "lucky" ones. I'm fortunate enough to have a job that required me to take on 2 people's work with a huge pay cut that put me below the poverty level to keep said job. The employer also feels since I'm salary and paid the get the job done they can just throw whatever they want at me, treat me like I'm a failure for not being able to do it all, expect me to come in on the weekend to help with special whatevers and I do not dare complain or get a cold.

My employer thinks they can do this to me because of enablers like you.

So Biden - you can go suck it.

10. Nothing like a reality gap.
No offense, Joe, but try "hanging in" when you run out of unemployment, have no savings left & are facing eviction. Just what are you supposed to hang on to? I hate to borrow a Dr. Phil-ism, but, GET REAL.

16. Maybe he should have told them to drop dead.
This same breathless nonsense was posted about a week ago ... ohhh the horror!!!!!

The administration is doing what it can against GOP obstructionism and so the far left throws a hissy fit when the VP tries to let the unemployed know that we have not written then off.

Perhaps Biden should have not mentioned them at all. Just skip saying anything. At least that would leave some with fewer lines of pearl clutching attacks.
