Why so... absolute? No middle ground?

“Every single great idea that has marked the 21st century, the 20th century and the 19th century has required government vision and government incentive,” he said. “In the middle of the Civil War you had a guy named Lincoln paying people $16,000 for every 40 miles of track they laid across the continental United States… No private enterprise would have done that for another 35 years.”

Think about some of the things you use every day. Some of the biggest inventions that have changed the way we live over the past 200 years. Our health. Transportation. Communication. Did all of those great ideas need government vision and government incentive?
Now take the poll.
Joe Biden made it an absolute. So obviously the only correct answer is that he is incorrect.
Well lets see....
The computer Chip (dont remember if thats govt or not), The Internet, The Train system, The Highways, The elimination of major diseases, Landing on the moon, Major wars (for good or bad)...
Oh yeah the microwave...

You misread.Joe Biden is a Time Lord? His skull is dimensionally transcendental? Wow. Who'd have thunk it?
My advice would be to read Biden's book: Promises to Keep. Amazon is selling for 2.60 from the original 25.95 retail. Such a small price to learn about the man, the essence that makes Joe Biden, the intellectual, the storyteller, the American hero and brilliant government mind...Our country owe's a debt to this legend...
