I can't imagine what link unemployment might have with rapes and murders, but VP Joe Biden has found one....
From Weeklystandard" -- "In 2008, when Flint had 265 sworn officers on their police force, there were 35 murders and 91 rapes in this city," Biden said. "In 2010, when Flint had only 144 police officers, the murder rate climbed to 65 and rapes--just to pick two categories--climbed to 229. In 2011, you now only have 125 shields. God only knows what the numbers will be this year for Flint if we don't rectify it."
A shortage of cops in Flint, Michigan because of no federal jobs bill only proves that stupid city officials are cutting the wrong jobs from their payrolls. Unemployment might, MIGHT lead to an increase in bank robberies, muggings, purse snatchings, B&E's, and 7-11 stick ups, but rapes and murders?
I hate to break it to Joe Gafftastic, but rape and murder aren't crimes based on economics. They're based on rapists and murderers liking to rape and kill people. If rapes go up in Flint when unemployment is high, that's just because the rapists in Flint don't have anything better to do.

I guess you've seen his latest much more lunatic rantings on the subject.
Yeah, Biden's scary predictions are outrageous. During budget shortfalls and cutbacks, nobody dictates that teachers, firemen, and police have to be cut. Why not keep them at full employment and cut away most of the unnecessary bureaucrats that lard down each department? I guess you can't threaten the public very effectively with promises of less bureaucracy. Biden's such an asshole.
