Biden: GOP on deficits is like an arsonist becoming fire marshal
http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/124527-biden-gop-on-deficits-is-like-an-arsonist-becoming-fire-marshal

Vice President Joe Biden said at a fundraiser Friday night that Republicans have "zero, zero, zero" credibility on reducing the deficit, and such talk from the GOP was "like making an arsonist the fire marshal."

(snip)
“Why do you think the Chamber of Commerce will not tell us who is contributing to them? … Follow the money! Follow the money!” Biden said.

Biden said the administration has been tasked with digging the country out of a "godawful" hole created by Republicans, and lambasted the right for criticizing government spending.

“These guys are not for real … They have zero, zero, zero credibility on deficits," he said. "The last guy to balance a budget was William Jefferson Clinton … These guys talking about deficits is like making an arsonist the fire marshal.”
