Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday chided Senate Republicans for blocking a vote on a bill that would give tax breaks to companies that bring back jobs to the U.S. from overseas.

"They prevented us from even being able to get a vote on that. So it's dead. It's dead," Biden said in a campaign speech in Ohio.

"They maintained a tax cut to take your company abroad and refused to give a tax cut to bring your company home," he said.

"We're not betting on anybody else. We're betting on Ohio. We're betting on the United States of America," Biden said. "That's not just political talk. That is a natural fact."


Biden touts economic recovery; slams Romney's stand on auto industry

He quoted an interview with Mr. Romney that The Blade published Wednesday.

“Yesterday he said to the press, quote, ‘It would never have crossed my mind to close down the industry’,” Mr. Biden told a crowd of several hundred inside a plumbers’ union hall in Columbus, which he mistakenly referred to at one point as Toledo.

“I wonder what in the heck was occupying his mind back’’ when he wrote The New York Times opinion piece that was entitled “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt,” he said.
