Joe Biden gives his guarantee

In August, 2012, Joe Biden visited a diner in Virginia and got into a conversation with patrons about Social Security:

"Hey, by the way, let's talk about Social Security," Biden said after a diner at The Coffee Break Cafe in Stuart, VA expressed his relief that the Obama campaign wasn't talking about changing the popular entitlement program.

"Number one, I guarantee you, flat guarantee you, there will be no changes in Social Security," Biden said, per a pool report. "I flat guarantee you."

Uhhhh....Joe?

Chained CPI?

Joe? Anything to say about that?

Fired off an email to my Democratic Senator to let him know my continued support depends on their response to President Obama's sell out to Wall Street. My Representative and the other Senator are republicans so it's a waste of bandwidth to contact them.

Maybe that's why he's now in charge of gun control instead of the fiscal cliff negotiations.

Of course, Biden also said this in September, 2008:

I guarantee you Barack Obama ain’t taking my shotguns, so don’t buy that malarkey. Don’t buy that malarkey. They’re going to start peddling that to you.

If he tries to fool with my Beretta, he’s got a problem.

Dunno what anyone expected, if you cut back on what is being paid in, you have to cut back eventually on what is being paid out. That's the way the SSA works, and that's exactly why it has never added a penny to the deficit. And that's why the Payroll Tax Holiday is such a loser.
