Biden jabs GOP for offering 'no answer' to voters on the economy
By Michael O'Brien - 09/01/10 08:25 AM ET
Vice President Joe Biden jabbed Republicans on Wednesday, accusing the GOP of offering "no answer" to voters' concerns about the economy.
Biden needled Republicans for blocking a small-business bill in the Senate, which he, like President Obama earlier this week, said was a key part of bringing the U.S. out of its economic doldrums.
The vice president tied the GOP's opposition in the Senate to the $30 billion package to remarks made earlier this summer by Rep. Pete Sessions (Texas), the chairman of House Republicans' campaign committee, who said in a highly publicized comment that the GOP would return to some of the same policies they'd pursued when they were last in power if voters give Republicans control of Congress again this fall.
"You know, Pete Sessions, the congressman who is in charge of the reelection efforts in the House, said that 'When we take control — if we take control — we're going to go back to the same exact agenda we had before,' " Biden said on ABC. "That's the agenda that drove us into a deep recession. That is no answer."
