In Flint, Michigan, Biden Warns Of More Rapes And Murders If Jobs Bill Not Passed

The vice president also seemed to suggest that the Obama administration's first stimulus is the reason rapes and murders were not even higher in 2010 and 2011." And God only knows what that number would have been had we not been able to get a little bit of help," Biden said.

This is obvious desperation. Obama will not be in the white house much longer and he knows it.

The theory is based on two mistakes. One is that if it does not pass, that the unemployment rate will go up. Not likely. It is also questionable that if it DOES pass that the unemployment rate will go down. I don't think either will happen. The second mis-conception he is embrasing is that a higher unemployment rate will mean higher crime. Stats are currently showing the opposite trend- higher unemployment has so far been acompanied by a LOWER crime rate. The following link is from June 2010.

The unemployment rate is the highest it's been in 20 years. One might assume that as more and more people fell out of work, the crime rate would rise. But as the unemployment continued to rise last year, crime dropped to its lowest level in years
