Biden: 30 Percent Chance We’ll Get It Wrong
Vice President Joe Biden acknowledged Friday that Democrats could face political repercussions in 2010 for their support 
of the economic stimulus package, the Wall Street Journal reported.
“But when we do [approve it], I’m sure you’re going to be nailed in ads, ‘Well they voted on that’ 30 second ads,” Biden told roughly 200 members of the House Democratic Caucus gathered for their three day annual retreat.

If his ability to figure out percentage’s is even close to his ability to grasp elementary mathematics, we are screwed!! i.e.) 3 letter word, “JOBS” etc…. This is a perfect example of what Enzo stated; “100% certainty they’ll get it wrong”. Using Joe’s math, I think he more close to 300% wrong,thus because of how our next several generations will be stuck paying for this “Stickitous Package”. Anytime you hear the word “package” used in politics,it’s usually referring to “assume the position”. PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS THE AMMO. LOCK AND LOAD
I’d say “Chokin’ Joe” is deluded. It’s is 100% certain they’ll get it wrong. They’ve got a good head start on total failure, that’s for sure.
