McClatchy has the story Biden: ‘A make or break moment for America’s middle class’.

Vice President Joe Biden stumped for the Democratic administration’s programs Wednesday, blaming the Republican Congress for blocking a raft of initiatives designed to help the middle class.

Biden ticked off a list of programs stymied by the Republican House, such as providing money to keep teachers and police from being laid off, tax credits for companies that bring businesses from overseas back home, new efforts for veterans, and efforts to help homeowners refinance their mortgages.

As one comment on the article had it, it’s about time the Obama administration started making this point.  The Republicans decry the loss of jobs for women without owning up to blocking funds to keep teachers on the job.

Did you ever notice that one way or another, the Republicans can always come up with a reason to block an initiative that helps the middle-class, but can never think of a reason to block an initiative that gives more money to the rich?
