Joe Biden, per AP
Plagiarism is an ever-increasing problem in schools.

The problem is exacerbated by the existence of online sites offering pre-written papers for money. <ref>http://www.plagiarism.org/learning_center/plagiarism_the_internet.html</ref>

==Joe Biden==
Associated Press reported:
*On the plagiarism issue, Biden correctly attributed lines in one of his speeches to former British Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock on some occasions, but not at an Iowa State Fair debate where Biden was videotaped.
*In political campaigns, no black mark is too old to dredge up — again. Biden admitted back in 1987 that he had committed plagiarism while a freshman at Syracuse University law school and that he occasionally used other people's words in his speeches without giving credit.
