Honcho Up!

December 22, 2008 | Jim Vicevich | |

Honcho means Biden will be chairing a middle class task force … presumably to make sure we all stay stuck in the middle class. Obama’s future tax increases should assure that anyway. 

What’s truly funny about this sound bite is Biden telling ABC George Stephanopoulos … he would only take the VP slot if Obama was picking him for his advise and counsel, not for a specific job. He then tells George his first duty … will be a specific job … “honchoing” a middle class task force.

OK … set aside the honcho thing for a second and the fact that Obama is giving him a “specific” task. The fact that Obama is setting up a middle class task force just drives me nuts. If you want to help the middle class set up up economic policies that allow people to move out of the middle class, not get comfortable in it. Paying for my kids college and my medical care only insures the kind of taxation that will never allow me to leave the middle class..

    Is this the same Biden that has to make the sacrifice of going to a pound rather than a breeder to get a "keep up with the Obama's" dog?

    The only thing this bloviator will do to the middle class is redefine it downward, so that as we get poorer due to upcoming socialist programs, we will still be called "middle class" rather than just dirt poor.

    The only bright side will be the prospect of Biden putting his designer loafers in his mouth with the frequency of an old ham radio….
