THE BIDEN EFFECT: It?s like the ?Gore Effect,? only for unemployment: Eight days after Joe Biden?

By Glenn Reynolds

ADVERTISEMENTS

THE BIDEN EFFECT: It’s like the “Gore Effect,” only for unemployment:

Eight days after Joe Biden traveled to Ohio to defend the stimulus, arguing, “Roads plus teachers plus cops plus jobs equals a community ? and that equals paychecks and prosperity,” the unemployment rate in the state increases from 10.8 percent to 11.1 percent. That is the highest in 26 years.

UPDATE: Man, Joe Biden is a one-man employment wrecking crew, because the rate shoots up everywhere he visits: “A day after the Vice President touted the success of the stimulus in Richmond, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that Virginia lost 22,800 jobs last month and the unemployment rate rose to 7.2 percent.”

Ouch.
