→Vice Presidency
Under President Obama the budget [[deficit]] reached over $1 trillion for the first time in history. When asked over the fate of the United States' going into bankruptcy, Biden stated at an [[AARP]] meeting, "Now, people when I say that look at me and say, "What are you talking about, Joe? You’re telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?’" Biden said. "The answer is yes, that's what I’m telling you." <ref>http://www.cnsnews.com/public/Content/Article.aspx?rsrcid=51162</ref>

Biden was placed in charge of promoting the Administration's [[Recovery Summer]] in 2010, an attempt to highlight the Democratic Congress's [[American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009]], or "[[economic stimulus]] program. During Recovery Summer, the workforce shrank, [[unemployment]] swelled, and [[economic growth]] slowed to less than 2%. As more Americans became the victims of joblessness, by the [[2010 Midterm elections]] more than 27,000,000 workers were unemployed or underemployed.
