Biden to receive $250 stimulus check
« on: April 20, 2009, 02:57:26 PM »
Does anyone else find this kind of disturbing?  I realize that $250 is a small sum, but do we really need to be giving it to the VP of the US?

He might need it.  I recall reading somewhere that he used to be the 'poorest' of all of the senators (if you can use that word in this context without bursting into laughter).
