Middle Class Task Force: Joe Biden's New Website
I love this idea!

http://www.whitehouse.gov/strongmiddleclass/



"America’s road to economic recovery will be driven by our middle class. Today, President Barack Obama created a task force specifically dedicated to strengthening our nation’s core -- our working families and small businesses -- and put Vice President Joe Biden in charge."

1. Thanks for posting
It's rather refreshing to hear that after the last 8 years Government even knows the middle class exists.

2. I remember the special Web Site that Vice President Cheney set up to address middle class needs
The URL was www.askmeifigiveaflyingfuck.com.

I'm still a little stunned, ten days after the inauguration, that we have an administration actually addressing the needs of the working and/or poor people in this country, and that they're taking steps to deal with them. I still haven't shaken the image of a stammering, smirking, petulant little fake cowboy talking about "protecting" us from terra.

:patriot:

6. Funny!
:rofl:





I know what you mean. I wake up every day, and I'm still amazed at how I feel now. Sort of like a person who was held captive for a long time then finally freed. The shock of the new found freedom lingers for a long time.

5. What if you used to be middle class?
But lost your job and career back in the 1990s?
And haven't found a job that uses any of your skills since then?

I have three college degrees which would make me middle class, if I had a good job where I could use those skills. But there are millions of people who are well educated but no employers want their skills -- "too expensive" :banghead:



And yes you can call me Doctor.
