FORT MYERS,
Fla. (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden says that he and President Barack Obama
had been on the job less than a week when a top economic adviser told them the
country was facing a trillion-dollar budget deficit.
Biden says
that Obama replied, "But I haven't done anything yet."
Biden
blames the deficit on the previous Bush administration, adding that it
"put two wars on a credit card" and gave tax cuts to the wealthy
after inheriting a balanced budget and revenue surplus from the Clinton
administration.
Biden
hammered GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney for comments on a leaked video
in which Romney describes 47 percent of Americans as paying no federal income
tax and believing "they are victims."
Biden made
his remarks Saturday to more than 2,000 people in Fort Myers, Fla.
