"And by the way, they talk about this Great Recession if it fell out
of the sky, like, oh my goodness, where did it come from? It came
from this man voting to put two wars in a credit card, to at the same
time put a prescription drug benefit on the credit card,
a trillion- dollar tax cut for a - very wealthy. I was there."

--Vice President Joe Biden
