Via Drudge comes this New York Daily News campaign quote by your vice president:
"Every single great idea that has marked the 21st century, the 20th century and the 19th century has required government vision and government incentive," he said. "In the middle of the Civil War you had a guy named Lincoln paying people $16,000***** for every 40 miles of track they laid across the continental United States....No private enterprise would have done that for another 35 years."
What was the "government vision and government incentive" that produced the assembly line? Motion-picture film? Air conditioning? The electric guitar? How about the personal computer? The mobile phone? Non-violent resistance? Aspirin?
*****Another reason Joe is stupid. It was $16,000 for every mile of track put down over plains states and $32,000 per mile through mountainous territory. Private companies did invest in the railroad but through a fraudulent scheme members of congress were bribed to keep the operation going. Joe Biden is an absolute embarrassment.
