Completely irrelevant to what I posted."I grew up in a town where you either became a policeman, fireman, or a priest."
What a positively idiotic and completely untrue throw-away line....I don't give a hoot in hell how small your town is, if you're going to try to say that those are your only viable career options, you're too stupid to be a county commissioner, let alone the president.
The outer sunset district in San Francisco, circa the 1950's was much like what Mr. Biden stated. The homes there were built in the sand post WW II, homeowners were civil servants, salesmen, retail clerks, restaurant workers and bartenders. MIddle income workers capable of getting by with a single worker, a single car and enough income to put their kids through college.
Of course Odd Dude would mock the former VP. I wonder what Odd Dude gets out of being a curmudgeon and kvetch.
Now go take your meds, Francis.
